Well having a MY 2010, I thought I would fill a 64GB USB Stick with music and insert it in the appropriate orifice to fill my car with all sorts of sounds, well thats difficult for a start so its only about 1/2 full so far but it is slow and also sometimes seems it just won't play some albums at all - although it generally gets there eventually.

Is there a trick like there is with the CDs (although I've forgot what it is)? I think its a pretty speedy drive Kingston 64GB and the music is three levels down so you would get
Artist > Album > Tracks (all MP3)

Anyone got any thoughts or ideas, iPod and iPhone both work fine in the other slot but that's not the question.

Out of interest has anyone tried a USB hard drive? Geoff

I simply use Cds as one cant beat the quality of uncompressed digital music in the Rangie  l=Oo\________/oO=l l:OolΞΞΞΞΞΞΞloO:l

I didn't mention CDs they also work fine although I generally use MP3 for convenience as my old ears can't really appreciate the difference any more, although I have got about 10CDs from Santa. Can't play vinyl any more unless I get the deck from the attic, same with cassettes my deck is also in the attic. Geoff

try two levels geoff, album- track.. ... - .- -.

Thanks Stan will give it a try, only your response, but plenty of interest in the other non technical post - philistines  Geoff

Golden Compass just finished on telly so time to have a look at that troublesome flash drive Geoff

I found (albeit different car) that big USBs took ages to index, went to 2Gb and was fine. Graham

Moved everything to two levels - no difference - however have read that the Mac puts a lot of invisible stuff on the stick which may cause problems. Windows next stop  Geoff

Geoff, I've got a fairly aged 8gb PNY stick with a variety of tracks created in the root directory via a Mac. Seems to work fine, so maybe it is the size of your stick (oo-er missus!) that is causing the issue?

Geoff it could also be type of stick. I believe the cheaper versions work better the versions without the security. Also stick should be formatted in FAT32. I can run up to 256 gb in the Jag with no issue I would have thought both systems would be similar. Present :2008 TDV8 HSE

Geoff, try a stick with smaller memory, my 32gb Kingston works fine

Well I eventually got to the bottom of this problem and it's all down to those tax dodging s at Apple. If you write the stick from OSX a lot of stuff is included which helps the Mac do its thing, trashes, spotlight searches etc and it often keeps copies of files with "._" at the beginning. The Mac just ignores this stuff however the RR doesn't and to say it gets confused is an understatement.
Two fixes, use Windoze and in control panel set it to show the hidden files and then delete them or use a third party program like MacPaw to delete all the unneeded on ejecting the USB stick.
I now have a full 64gb stick that's fast as.  Geoff

Read with interest, albeit after the fact, as I'm about to do the same in my 2010my RR VSE and was wondering about using a 32GB or smaller because of previous posts. Thanks, Geoff!

Wow... Didn't understand a word of that Geoff... Glad i specialise in JLR computing & not Apple! (typed on his macbook pro )
