It's not clear whether the unacceptable format is the music file's or the USB key's.
Can you reformat the USB key in the Marantz?
Can you reformat the USB key in the Marantz?
getting file onto usb flash drive
stupid newbie question, I'm sure, but . . .
I bought a few items from HDtracks because I was curious about trying high-quality digital downloads. My Marantz SACD player (8004) has a slot for a USB key. I converted the files to apple lossless encoding (one of the formats supported by the Marantz, according to its manual) and copied the files to a USB key by just dragging and dropping them. The player won't recognize the files, giving a message about incorrectly formatted media.
Then I tried using iTunes to copy the files. No more bad formatting messages, but the files still won't play. Any help will be appreciated.
