Discover Nav music on SD card
« on: 16 April 2020, 09:36 »
If and when my new car turns up I've just gone for standard nav this time having pretty much always had nav pro. I know a lot of people stream music via phones etc but what process are people using to put music onto SD card to play in the car? Does album art work show etc? I've got a lot of MP3 files of music but I can't remember what to do to get a cd for example onto SD card or am I better just downloading from somewhere?

The Carista MIB2 fitted to my Polo GTI+ (and recent Golfs, I believe) will take MP3s and FLACs from an SD card or USB stick formatted exFAT.

I download as it's quicker than ripping a CD. Usually the download comes with artwork. No biggie for me on the rare occasion it doesn't.

I just have a folder for each Artist, with album folder within, and the FLAC/MP3s within that.

Ok,  I'm not particularly technical but have no problems on a GTi Performance with standard nav.....

I download any music I like from Amazon onto the home computer as an MP3 file ( how it comes from Amazon).

Shove an SD card in the SD card reader slot on the computer and copy across from downloads to SD card.

The album art always shows......

Are these albums you've paid for Phil or just downloaded from Amazon music?

It's going to be built regardless Jim. I messaged someone from VW Germany who was quite high up not expecting an answer but he actually did. Just said that any vehicles that had been ordered and were in the pipeline would be built and delivered.

It's the same process for all vw nab systems. Stick the files on a sd card, play them.
