the files it sees are
"TRACK1~1.MP3 14005206
TRACK2~1.MP3 14005206"

k do you see the issue :)

[garyallen]

I wish I could say that the problem is obvious but I'm not seeing it. Sorry.

[adafruit2]

your files are called "Track1.mp3.mp3" not "track1.mp3"

[adafruit_support_carter]

Your files are named TRACK1.MP3.mp3. Windows added and hid the .mp3 extension making the files look like they were named TRACK1.MP3. They are not. This was also non-obvious in the serial console output due to the truncation to the 8.3 format. But the appearance of the ~ in the name was a major clue.

Rename them by removing the extra .mp3.

Wow. Thank you for revealing this to me. My ignorance is on full display but I am accustomed to that. Can't work on it now. But I'll let you know if the problem is solved. Thanks again.

[garyallen]

It works! Thank you. Now if I can just incorporate some servos and leds into my project. Baby steps.
