Can someone give me a 2 second guide as to how I need to arrange the files on the Memory cards

and can you just copy "Itunes" files onto the SD card?

Any SD card seems to work, I use 1Gb and some folks use 2Gb.

The SD card needs to be FAT file system, not FAT32 or anything else.
The files are .mp3 format and they can be in folders called the album name.

The system displays them just like windows basicly so you could pile all the tracks in on the root or you can subdivide them into folders however you like.

Hope this helps, I went through heartache before I clicked the format thing.

I can't get my SD cards working either, but I don't really care as the music makes the engine sound worse. I leave my stereo in MP3 mode with no card inserted. That way I can have the rear camera and don't have sound come on each time I start the car.

They should work easy, if you want them to.

The key I found was formatting as FAT not FAT32

Can I just check - I'm going to try and load up the cards today to use on the way home tonight

Q1. Does the format "Band" / "Albumn" / "Track".mp3 work or is it only "Albumn" / "Track"

Q2. Can you use file type .M4A or do you need to convert these back to .mp3

Does anyone know:

1. any free software to convert all my M4A files into MP3?
2. if you copy MP3 songs from Itunes how do you get the track titles?
