I have been looking for an answer for a while and can't find any help so far. I have a 09 g37s with the compact flash drive for music. I loaded the music onto a cf card adapter I saw another guy on one of the forums say he used no problem and have tried 2 different sd cards with it to load music. While the car shows all the names of the mp3s on the screen when I attempt to play a song it plays a half second then pauses for about 2-3 seconds then plays another half second and pauses again. I also seem to be having difficulties when I attempt to scroll through the songs in that it has massive slowdown. It did speed up a bit when I deleted down to 130ish songs on the card but supposedly it should be able to handle around 400 songs no problem. Has anyone else noticed this problem and before I purchase a dedicated CF card and reader I just wanted to see if I could get some feedback since even if I cut the songs down to 100 per SD card that would still be a pain since I have a few thousand songs. I was planning on keeping a few SD but not that many. Thanks in advance again.

 

Assuming problems are a result of the cf card being a type II card instead of a type I card. Ordered a type I card and will see what results.

 

i have a 16gb card, i forgot what file system it needs to be as well. but the card system isn't bad, but also sucks at the same time
you can't scroll for your music while still playing.

 

Have you tried an IPod?



Telcoman

 

He probably has the 08-09 model with the older head unit. 2010 and up have a newer system (like yours judging by the screenshots)

 

Is it possible the files you ripped are at a high bitrate?

 

I didn't consider the bitrate, yea i have an 09. I saw the flash card and I want to use it since the ipod doesn't charge. What bitrate should it be at?

 

I wouldn't go past 192 as that was the norm when your car was released. Can't hurt to try. Probably won't notice any difference with all the other car sounds in the cabin.

 

Exact same problem with mine now... did the different bitrate help?
