SD Card music

[hoffpenn]

Hi all, Can someone show how the SD card directory should look like for music? Just want something to do while waiting for delivery. mkvii gti

Dont know about that one but I just stuck 6000 tracks on a card and it plays in my RNS510

Been meaning to plonk a stack of music on an SD card to see how this set up goes. PC SD card reader's decided to cark it so well have to wait..

Do the album covers show up normally or do you need to create folders with them in it?

Is there a list of the benefits SD has over Bluetooth streaming?

I had a heap of MP3's s (individual tracks) and I just copied them from my HDD folder to the root of the SD card Most had names and artist but some dont.

I just use bluetooth for my phone

For what it's worth, i reckon that the first consideration when creating a play list for the SD card is the playing order. I'm probably telling readers what they already know (apology), but this is the playing order that the Discover media/pro uses:
First songs played are those in the root directory,
Second priority is the first folder from the root, followed by its sub-folders (there is a setting in the menu that enables sub-folders to be ignored in the playing list)
Then subsequent folders and their sub directories (again, dependent on the menu setting)

PS: incidentally, in answer to the question about the "album cover", I've found that the picture file needs to be placed into the same directory as the songs (i understand that this requirement can cause problems with displaying album covers on apple based playlists). There's a size limit to the picture file, but pretty-much the popular file formats are acceptable.

Can I ask why you need Album covers on a car player. You are supposed to listen to the music and watch the road.
Or is it only me that does that

I went to a *lot* of trouble to get all the cover art (and tags, and playlists) working properly from SD in my new S3. It's all about the bling.

Oh an Audi Eh Well an acquaintance (who owns a Peugeot ) perish the thought, gave me a definition of an Audi yesterday.

Said is the only car to advertise its resale value on both ends. LOL
