I understand this might seem odd but copying songs to your phone is proving tricky. When I attempt to move a folder to the music folder on my microSD card, it reports an error saying the device isn't connected or unresponsive. Yet I can browse and edit files elsewhere on my phone. It appears only one folder is affected, while on my PC the same issue occurs but other files still work fine. I tried creating a new folder inside the music folder on my phone, which also triggered the same problem. Despite this inconsistency, I’ve managed to transfer many songs before, so it’s not an obvious malfunction. Everything seems normal with my setup—my LG G3 runs Android, and my PC has flac files, but no clear issue is apparent.

I might test the SD card by connecting it to a reader and checking if it works from there. If not, the device could be failing. They often return these kinds of messages and eventually lock the drive after some time. Also, this approach would be odd because you're using FLAC files—sometimes an entire album fits in one file. Keep in mind that FAT32 can't store files larger than 4GB.

All my tracks are small files under 60 megabytes each. I’ll attempt to load them using a card reader to check the problem. It seems like the issue might be with Android, since the SD card isn’t fully filled and I’m only reading music from it.

It functions properly with the card reader... appears to be an Android device.

Consider installing it on the PC, open Device Manager, remove the drivers, and reinstall them. If that fails, attempt an Android factory reset and observe the results. If issues persist, verify whether your device is still covered under warranty. There isn't much else to do at the moment.
