The underlying reason for this from what I can tell is the fact that they never added a proper file management system that can bypass a bad file. It's there - it just crashes out when a bad file is present when it scans through them, thereby defeating the purpose of having a delete option more or less (unless you're just removing a working file for preference purposes).


With the PS3 having file management, I actually had plenty of files that were corrupted or wouldn't play or whatever. The game didn't have to work as hard to manage that. The file system in the game is just flawed in that they must have tested it with files that had consistent everything i.e. quality, metadata, rip source, etc. They didn't plan ahead for the sheer variety and deviation in quality that comes with people importing their own files.


The fix boils down to being able to make files removeable even when corrupted. You wouldn't have to reinstall that way. The only reason a reinstall is necessary is that there's no backup plan when the delete function crashes since the files aren't physically on the PS4 harddrive - it's basically all or nothing at that point until you find the culprit mp3.

does anyone know how to add the songs to the thumb drive on a mac? I'm trying it on an old pc right now and it's not working either. I've tried right clicking the links, dragging them into the folder, right clicking and opening them, and double clicking them. When i try to open them i get a new tab opened and at the bottom it says it's done loading but the page is blank. On the mac i can open a list of the music files in a new window but thy aren't playable or dragable. can anyone help me out?
Also i tried posting a new thread for this question but it wouldn't let me

I dont know which file is corrupt, is there an easy way to find it?

Actually, new problem. It only reads 1 of my 123 songs now, used to have all but now it doesn't, any help with that???? I can now access jukebox now. All files are AAC files

All your files need to be MP3's

So this is starting to get ridiculous. Today I converted all the mp3s I was trying to upload using media human converter. I double checked them in mp3 diags and it came back 100% clean with no corrupted files. Then I deleted and reinstalled the game and uploaded the new files. I got really excited at first because the game gave me a success message that all files were uploaded successfully and nothing about corrupt files like I was previously getting. Then as soon as I went to playlist creator the game crashed again.

Judging from the array of replies in this thread, I would say that there really is no guaranteed fix for this problem. Yet another crippling bug with this game. How unfortunate. I was so excited to finally get team specific broadcast sounds into the game.. UGH
