To give you an idea an MP3 file of around 5-6MB will probably be around 30MB in FLAC, where the original file will probably be around 60-70MB.
With lossy, for the sake of compressing better, some information is lost and technically the music file is of inferior quality than the original. The music files retains the same quality as the the original CD. Basically what that means that is that with lossless formats the file is compressed but no information is lost. However the drive is extremely small (I estimate around 8GB) and I have had some problems with it.įor example my music library is in FLAC format. If you do that then you can pull the USB flash drive and play music from the internal drive. It's not actually ripping but copying the files to the internal drive. Regarding ripping, you can "rip" to the internal drive, but you have to specify it to specifically do so. I wish it was like my VW Passat that has memory card slots in addition to the USB port. I even tried connecting a USB Hub into the port and it actually gave me an error message on the screen that USB Hubs are not supported. If you want to use something else like Android Auto/Apple CarPlay in conjunction with your USB Flash Drive, you can't. The bad part about only being able to plug into the center console port is that there is only one port. Instead the artwork has to be called folder.jpg in the folder of the music. I figured out that it supports artwork up to at least 800x800 (I didn't test anything higher because that is the max my other car supports) but it doesn't seem to recognize artwork embedded in the file (at least not for FLAC files).
You can have your music organized in sub-folders. It supports various formats including mp3, aac/mp4, and FLAC. The drive though has to be plugged into the port in the center console. Well, I downloaded a software and I was able to format the 16 GB drive and I added some music using the drag and drop method and also sync with Windows Media Player, non of them worked, it says no song on the radio.Click to expand.I believe it supports USB flash drives up to 256GB. Some USB devices with security software and digital rights-protected files may not work." Surprised you can play flac files, because it didn't show as being supported in the info I found: "13 The USB Audio Interface is used for direct connection to and control of some current digital audio players and other USB devices that contain MP3, WMA or AAC music files. Some info here on formatting challenges: can't really find much info on the stereo, but I'd go with a cheap 8 or 16 gig stick formatted in FAT32 and try that. I'd be very surprised if it will support a 256 Gig drive, and I think you'd stand a better chance with FAT32.
