can't load samples from card

So I just got a sp303 and it's not loading samples for some reason. I followed all the instructions and have 16bit 44.1 khz wav samples named accordingly in the root of the card. When I press REC on the sp303 after selecting the bank though, it goes to 1.0.0 with blinking dots and then to . .0. with blinking dots for a second or two and then it goes to _ _ _ and the samples do not load. The card is 64mb and formatted.

Any ideas?

i just went throught something like this. try putting your files in itunes and convert them to wavs, then load them directly on to the card without opening them in any other program.

I just tried that by importing into itunes and using the copied wavs from the itunes library and it still does the same thing...

So Roland support suggested converting the imported wav from itunes to an aiff file and this time the sp303 imported just fine. I used a single sample named SMPL0001.AIF

My original wav samples were created in Ableton Live so there must some kind of header information embedded by Ableton when those samples were created within the program.
