RCD 510 with SD card - slow
« on: 08 December 2009, 13:19 »
Got an RCD 510 with Dynaudio (sounds fantastic BTW) - all works fine with MP3 CDs and via USB. However with a 16GB SD Card the RCD 510 takes forever to start up (Please Wait...) - usually done half my journey before it springs into life (seriously takes about two mins). And does this every time you start the card. Annoying. Anyone any experience of this - would a better SD card help ? Any other ideas ?

Are you storing songs to Individual folders say albums of up to 40 songs, Or are you adding everything into one big folder of 1000+ songs, The latter will cause a very long loadout, Mine turns on more or less then second I hit SD card

Everything in folders arranged by album - so no massive folders at all...

Half your journey is 2 minutes?!?  :laugh:
Mine was taking 20 minutes to boot into life. I discovered it was because I had folders with artist names, then inside it had Albums.
I had hundreds of different artists and hence why it took so long.


I took all the Album Folders out and it now boots in around 20 seconds which is a hell of a lot better but not instantaneous which is quite annoying every time you have to start the car up.

sounds like a smaller SD card is the only answer...

When you consider up untill 5 years ago computers only came with 6 to 10 gb hard drives,trouble is we now want everything to happen in a instant,16gb of data is quite alot for a car stereo to handle i use a 2gb card with 35+ large albums on it and have no problems.

I tried a 4GB SD card against a 16 GB USB stick and found the USB stick was a smidge quicker to load / access, although both were very quick. The USB sticks are a bit cheaper, too.
