Yamaha DGX 550 Auto Playing Background music during interval proving difficult.

[AlanOfBayCourt]

I have put three folders on the USB stick named after three themes. Christmas, Wedding and Birthday. I have put 20 WAV files into each folder. I press BGD and Song and I can see the 3 folders. Only 6 of the 20 WAVs can be seen in the display. Selection one and pressing BGD again plays it perfectly and then stops. I know how to set up random play order but I can only get one WAV to play. The manual does not help me. What do I need to do please?

Sounds like you will have to get on a Yamaha forum to get more info.

Thanks but I solved it. The DGX550 is fussy about file names. I shortened them all removed apostrophes and commas and then it all started to work properly. I have never seen this problem discussed but hey it's OK now, thanks again.

Welcome, @AlanOfBayCourt! I'm glad you got it figured out, and that you shared the solution with us.

Out of curiosity, is it a DGX-550, or a DGX-650? I don't remember seeing a DGX-550 on the web before; I thought the DGX-530 was the last DGX-5xx model produced.

The DGX-660 and earlier models seem to have a lot in common with the PSR-E models, and I believe the PSR-E models can be picky when it comes to filenames-- although, as you said, I haven't heard much about that particular issue before, other than comments about filename extensions, not the part that comes before the extension.

Reminiscent of the old days of DOS and Windows where filenames had to be alpha numeric and 8 characters or less.
