Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

My partner has a large downloaded music collection, when she gets Flac files, I use Sound Converter to change them to Mp3 files so she can put them on her MP3 player.
Her MP3 player won't play FLAC.
Sound converter is fast and easy to use. I use Linux Ubuntu on my computer

I converted them from mp3 to flac so I can play using the PicoMite.
 The problem is that the PicoMite is not playing the files using
 
 Play Flac "music"

 I can change to music DIR and play any and of the flac music files there.

 I to use Linux have done so for many many years. I can play all my flac
 music with VLC and Media player. So I know the files are good.

I am using PicoMiteV5.07.08RC7.uf2

You should find you don't even need to set to disk b: now
Even if the default drive is A: you can still use PLAY FLAC "B:/music"
