It took me a long time to figure out how to sink my Android version of Anki with my computer version but a few hours of internet searches and a little Dropbox trickery later I was successful.

However….I don’t know if this is a universal issue that can be solved or something that I will have to live with but I cannot play the sound files for the Tofugu flash cards. I have checked the files directly in Dropbox and they play there but not in AnkiDroid. I have also checked the automatically play sounds box. Is there anything that anyone can recommend to fix this. Its just I would get so much more vocab studying done if I could use Anki on the go.

Please help.

I only use my media-less decks on my android so syncing is super easy but obviously no media :P

Maybe someone has done it.

Open Anki on your desktop, open the deck you’re using, click on Tools->Advanced and then Check Database and Check Media Database. After that, sync.

That fixed my issue.

That’s how I got the flashcards to work. I’ve been to scared to ask how to make it work on the anki forums as all people seem to get back is technobabble and although I’m not computer illiterate technobabble intimidates me.

I checked the cards on AnkiWeb and they play the sound there. also when I synced the cards on AnkiDroid I got a message that said “downloading media 0/43″ or of a similar ilk. It never seemed to go up through the numbers as it would if it was downloading however there is no error message. Is it possible that my SD card isn’t high enough capacity or something??

Sorry for sucking at AnkiDroid

See, I was having an error message come up when I was downloading media #13. Doing what I said above fixed my issue, but it sounds like yours isn’t even attempting to download.

Check maybe the manual part of the link I posted?

(The betas and alphas and experimental versions are out and I have the newest beta because by the gods, I wanted my decks in alphabetical order. If you get a beta version, it could be a bug that’s been fixed.)

Have you tried uninstalling Ankidroid then reinstalling and copying your .anki file and .media folder over?
(I don’t have an account and thus didn’t sync my desktop and Droid versions. If you are having trouble and you don’t care about your Droid not keeping track of what you do on your desktop, I’d just not sync or I’d use the browser and that Web version that accesses their server.)

Did you rename the .anki file at some point?
(If it doesn’t share the exact name with the .media file then it won’t access it.)

EDIT: Because I’m anal.
