Audio PC Card Question

Re: Audio PC Card Question
Yeah, there is something wrong some where. It should not be that difficult. As long as you're playing MP3s, you should not problem. I have a pretty complex folder hierarchy and it works just fine. I can go up or down with no problem.
Weird how it works on your computer but not in the car. That would make me think it might not be the hardware but the Nav system.

i just bought a 4 MB Sandisk Compact Flash from Amazon for $127 (after rebate) It works fine with WMA files - never tried MP3's. I've been ripping CD's at 128kbps so it should hold about 80-90 CD's from what i've seen so far. Would love to have a larger size since i'm used to an iPod which can hold 400-500 CD's.

There may not be much of a point in buying a huge card.
According to the manual, you can only have up to 999 songs, organized in up to 99 folders, organized 8-levels deep.
They say not to use microdrives, but they don't say why. Heat is usually the argument against them.

I have a 4 GB card and was concerned about the 99 folder limit but so far i have well over 100 folders without a problem. I if i rip 4 different songs from 4 different CD's for 1 artist it shows up as 5 folders organized by CD - for example Folder 1 (Rolling Stones) -->one level down Folder 2 xxxx, Folder 3 xxx, Folder 4 xxx. Next Folder up is Folder 6.
As far as Card Size 4 GB at 128kbps looks like it will hold 80-90 CD's. Not really a lot - compared to an iPod. I tried ripping at 96 kbps but i noticed a real difference in audio quality for the 20% savings in size.
