Anyone using an SD Card for their music?

[JJH]

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?

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     My USB stick is just Windows Media Files ?

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.

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?

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.

Other than that I haven't a clue how to remedy it.

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.
