  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

USB Hard Drive and SIRIUS XM Question

After reading this great thread I have a question. I've formatted a 160 GB drive as FAT32 and successfully played MP3s on the car's system. However, I note that my display (I have the Premium Plus package audio system), will indicate: folder, file, title, artist, album when pressing the "info" button. The first two bits of info (folder and file) display fine, but how does one create MP3 files with title, artist and album info? I am using Nero Version 6 to create MP3 files principally from my CD collection. Is there a way to imbed the remaining data (title, artist and album info) as one creates MP3 files?

I have used Windows Media Player to rip my music collection to MP3 for use on USB on the DIS system. All of the info you mentioned is automatically included and viewable on the PC. Unfortunately, not all displayed on DIS (I can't speak about your non DIS system). While I don't currently have one, more info is displayed if using and IPOD or IPhone.

Paulroger is correct. Only the lowest containing Folder (usually Artist / Album) and Filename (usually Track # / Song Title) are displayed by the DIS. I wish there were more options for viewing track info, but that's all we've got.
