When I bought the new N4-G3 MP3 {labeled G4 on the unit}, I had a lot of older SD Cards lying around, but I also purchased brand new Kingston SD Cards direct from the Kingston website to have on hand. Especially since I'd seen a lot of folks talking about this in the past. I tried all my SanDisk SD Cards, none worked in the N4, but I could read and write to them from the computer and from the LOR SD reader/Writer Device, had some PNY, same thing, none worked in the N4 unit, but same as the SanDisk in the LOR supplied SD Reader/Write. Then I tried the new Kingston SD cards, every one I put in the N4 worked, show started right up and played fine. I had some other off branded SD Cards, they wouldn't function in the N4 unit either. So like others have stated, get the Kingston SD brand, they work 100%, I have had no problems or issues with them in the N4 unit at all. But I do believe the N4 is also limited to a maximum size of 32GB for the SD card. I have some Kingston 64GB SD cards and they didn't work in it either, at least not correctly, I may get lights from the sequence, but seems it ignores the MP3 file, or it may play the MP3 file and ignore the lighting commands in the sequence, whichever way it worked, it didn't work properly to run a show. But the 32GB Kingston SD Cards worked perfectly every single time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibblejr Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 All of my PNYs stopped working in my tune to sign 3 years ago. Went with Kingston as LOR recommends and worked fine. JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EARLE W. TALLEY Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 There is also a limit on size either a 16 or 32 GB , unless it's been changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original was limited to 4GB{had one of these, anything over 4GB wouldn't work}, the G2 I'm not sure about{never owned one}, but think it was 16GB, the G3 and G4{N4-G3 MP3} can use up to 32GB {just purchased one this year, it may try and read a 64GB card, but it's not reliable, at least it hasn't been in my tests}.
