USB Music Import no longer working?

Not sure if it was the last patch, but I noticed the USB Import Music feature is no longer working for me. I am a veteran at using it, so I know what i'm doing involving transferring and such.

I had imported a ton of files back in March when the game dropped, everything worked fine, I set up my custom playlists... everything was a-okay. Worked flawlessly.

Suddenly in the last week, all of the files have suddenly disappeared. All of them. Deleted. As if they were never there. When I go to import them again, using the exact same USB drive, the game now says there's an 'Error' and that the USB or the files themselves are corrupted. Keep in mind these were the same files that were on there for a month with no problem. I used the same files with a completely different USB drive, and got the exact same 'Error' message.

Anybody else deal with this in Sounds of the Show? Bizarre.

Mine work I have over 200 songs they have to be in MP3 format tho mybe that's your issue ? I duno heres step by step

Step 1: Acquire USB flash drive

Step 2: Insert USB flash drive in to computer

Step 3: Create a folder named “MUSIC” on USB flash drive

Step 4: Download your desired MP3 files and place it in the “MUSIC” folder

Step 5: Eject USB flash drive safely

Step 6: Insert USB flash drive in to PS4

Step 6: Go to “Sounds of the Show” on your game

Step 7: Select “Manage Music Files” and then select “Import Music”

Been doing this for years myself.

Unfortunately, the bug prevents you from importing again.

The only solution to this is a reinstall.

I've been down this road twice with SDS support.

Like I said, i've done this for years, proper installation is not the problem. I already did it this year. The files were there for a month, then suddenly gone. Deleted by some bug. Now the USB function doesn't work at all in-game. It's broken.

Thanks for this reply. At least I know i'm not the only one. Probably won't do a re-install though. I guess i'll just wait 'til a fix or The Show 21. I've never ever dealt with this issue and i've had all versions of The Show on PS4 (yes, I know, not all had SOTS).

Hasn't happened yet this year but I did have it happen twice last year. My own music means too much not to reinstall.

I wish you luck.

Well I got to thinking about your reply, and you did say this has happened to you for 'years'. So I might not have a choice, but to re-install.

If you re-install, you get to keep all of your bonuses right? Isn't it tied into your PSN account? I got the 15th Anniversary Edition and don't want to lose anything.

Everything is fine with a reinstall. The only things you need to do are fixing your PCI settings, camera angle, strike zones etc, and your music.

If you have jerseys etc, you'll need to redo as well. Just upload the logos etc to the vault and pull em back down after.

Good luck!

You were absolutely right. Did everything you said, now suddenly the Import feature works again.

Thanks for the advice.

No problem. Glad to have helped.
