Bought a 16Gb SDHC class 6 card the other day and put about 5Gb on it.
Put it in the car this morning going to work and for the whole 20 minute journey it said "Please wait accessing"
Coming home it was exactly the same so I decided to leave the ignition on and put it in the drive till eventually it accessed it.
When I pressed "selection" it went up a folder straight away, if I pressed it again to access the whole song list, it went back to the "Please wait accessing" screen for at least 10 minutes until I got p!ssed off with it and turned the bloody thing off.
Anyone using the SD slot? What capacity? And are you having any problems?
Incidentally the couple of songs I did listen to sounded a lot crisper than the songs via the ipod!
-
sorry no usb with 5GB ish plays on switch on
-
2gb sd works fine no longer than 10 secs wait on switch on.

Whats the spec of your card ?
-
2gb sd works fine no longer than 10 secs wait on switch on.
When I only had a around 20 songs on it was fine but since putting on 5Gb it is useless.
What a waste.

You quoted it :laugh:
Class 6 is meant to be reasonably fast as well. Reason I picked it.

No I saw that, the class rating has to do with data transfer speeds, and nothing else. As I said, whats the spec of your card ? Read speed would be nice.
-
Ah right. I thought they had changed the specs to a "Class" system to make it easier to understand.
Anyway here are the specs:
"Kingston Secure Digital High-Capacity Card (Class 6) 20MB/Sec. 133x Write"
http://www.kingston.com/flash/sdhc.asp?id=8 (http://www.kingston.com/flash/sdhc.asp?id=8)
And its only 8Gb.
Totally useless. 20 minutes to access and then if you try and go up a couple of folders to "all songs" another 20 minutes!!

Had a quick browse, that shouldnt have any probs playing back. Did you format as fat32 ? Also, have you tried just 5 or 6 songs to see if it's the same ?
-
Yeah fat32 and tried about 20 odd songs and it was only a couple of seconds to access.
It seems like it has to load every song again any time the head unit tries to access the SD card.
I'll maybe try another card reader as it was temperamental and may have caused problems when it formatted it.
Then I suppose I could just load 1Gb and test it 2Gb and so on to see what changes happen.
Other than that I haven't a clue how to remedy it.

you guys need to file the music in different folders when you tranfer the music onto the card; this reduces the target size and speeds it up. Otherwise it treats every track together and takes forever..have you read the handbook thoroughly?

Do you ? I certainly dont, and this lad certainly doesnt http://vwwatercooled.org.au/newforum/upload/showpost.php?p=274513&postcount=17
Read the handbook ? Cheeky b!tch.
-
''Do you?'' what are you getting at? What to you mean?
whats with the Cheeky b!cth? Have you always been a div Kev, go on be honest..

You said that 'we need to file the music in different folders' or it will be slow. I dont, and from a 3 second google search someone else with 11 gig in one folder doesnt have to. So I cant really make that any clearer for you I'm afraid.
No I havent always been a div, it just comes out of me when I meet a nob that talks sh!t.
-
If you took the time to read the thread that you referenced you will discover that that guys' set up is compromised in that he can not search and quickly choose a specific track. He uses a 'MIX' setting and waits for a track he likes and then listens to that album.
I have a feeling you must think everyone talks sh!te because the majority of your posts, in only my opinion make you look like a div.
I aint going to get into a slagging match so lets just live and let live, end of.

All the individual mp3s are in different folders
ARTIST -- ALBUM -- TRACK.mp3
I backed up my itunes list onto DVD's and then transferred over from that.
Is that what you are referring to as opposed to all the tracks being in the root of the SD card?

Wild guess and I honestly know nothing but could it be the fact you have taken stuff from ITUNES and not just normal MP3 :undecided: My USB stick is just Windows Media Files ?

Have tried an 8GB SDHC (SanDisk I think). With it very nearly full it takes the 510 up to 40 seconds to get going. Presumably yours is a duff card?

I'm interested in your results. I was going to buy a new SD card load up a big chunk of my collection but if it's slow and clunky I'll just use a USB flash drive.

It is just normal mp3 files.
iTunes just backs up the Mp3 files like every other mp3 file.
I only copied them that way so I would have the same music as my ipod.

It works fine in a camera and transfers files back and forth to the PC without a problem so not sure how it could be a duff card?
What class / specs is your SanDisk?

I have 25-30 albums on my 2gb card and it workfs fine, it only takes a few seconds on start up

+1 ( In seperate folders by album. All in MP3 format,)
-
Could this problem be related to old firmware? I know that the latest version out now for the head unit is v2600. I will get my car next week so can finally play around with this myself. However, I´m planning to use a HDD linked to the Media-In interface in the armrest.
-
Bought my SD card 2day only a 2gb one, Got about 9 albums on it. No issues with startup. Just make sure you add folders one at a time to its own directory and there should be no probs
-
A quick update as I've been messing about with this tonight.
What I have been doing so far is putting my tracks in folders as such:
Artist folder ----- Album Folder(s) ----- tracks.
So I've maybe had 3 or 4 songs from each artist that have all come from different albums so each artist could have around 5 folders.
I had 400 different artists on my SD card so in theory could have had around 2000 folders!!!!
After RTFM :grin: it states "Memory cards with max 500 folders and max 2048 files" so that was probably the reason for the lengthy (20 minute delay)
I deleted all but 100 artists that I knew only had 1 album folder so I now had a maximum 200 folders. Plugged it into the RCD510 and it only took around 1 minute to access. :laugh:
However I thought if I went up a selection or two I would get access to just a list of songs, the way I do with my ipod but it would only go as far back as "Artists" (which I can understand why now). Also doing it the way I had done it meant the songs would only play from that particular artist i.e. it was stuck in the Artist---Album---track and to move on to another song, I had to manually go up a selection or two to get another artist.
So I think after all that I have sussed it :laugh:
However is there a way I can sort by artist or song the way I can with the ipod or am I best just to have no folders for artists that just have 1 or 2 songs?
How do folk arrange theirs?
Incidentally, I plugged in my card reader with the SDHC in through the MDI port and rather than take a minute to access it like the RCD510, it was accessed straight away!!!

Glad to hear it worked for you. I re-ripped most of my stuff in iTunes in higher quality (192kbps) than previously so probably wasn't hitting the limits in 8GB.
I don't think you can force it to work iPod style. The only other tip I've seen is to have a 'launch' track in some of the higher up folders - if you then play that track and do Extras->Mix you can random play tracks in all the subfolders from that track.
I've found that having an iPod off the MDI is the least hassle for the way I want to listen. Sound quality is fine for me using a Nano and stuff like playlists are much simpler to achieve.
