Idiot Guide to Copying Music to SD Card
Hi everyone!
Can anyone with a good technical knowledge of iTunes give me step by step by step instructions on how I copy High Quality tracks to a SD card.
I'm pretty good on most PC programs, but I struggle on iTunes with authorize-de-authorise etc. etc. etc.
2: 5GB SD cards ready and waiting!
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the reply guys!!OK with regard to DRM protected files you are correct, you cannot copy straight to a SD card and play in car. I bought some ripping software off the net for about a tenner and used it to rip all DRM tracks.
For the orginal poster (and I am assuming you have a SD card reader on laptop or PC)........Insert SD card. Go to My Computer.......double click SD card. Now go to My music.......iPod music.......identify folder or files you want to copy to SD card........point at folder or files.......right click.......copy..........go back to SD card in My Computer.........right click.........paste.
To be honest, I only used SD cards and/or Juke box briefly as it took so long to keep copying over music, I simply bought a lead and plugged iPod into Aux port in centre arm rest console and listened to music on Aux.

Kev,Having spent some time looking for easy ways to create playlists I came across this little beauty:
Playlist Creator 3
It's a free download - although I'm going to donate because I think it's awesome - and it is so easy to use. Literally drag and drop.
I started out by copying some wma, mp3 and m4a (iTunes) files onto a SD card to test with. I put Playlist Creator on one side of the screen and Windows Explorer on the other and started knocking playlists out like no tomorrow. I'm not certain which playlists are supported by the Audi system but I am 99% sure m3u's are, you can select this at the bottom of the page. Choose the root directory of your storage device as the save location and give your play list a name. BINGO!!! Simply drag the folders or files you want to include into the Playlist Creator window to add them.

If you intend to use your iTunes music you will have to move the m4a file type to the active side of the list under >Settings>File Type

I seem to recall someone on the forum once saying that if you start the playlist name with a symbol e.g. underscore, it will always appear at the top of the list when you are viewing your media - might be worth bearing in mind.
Have fun,
Kev

Rich
Oh well,mac's v window pc's strikes again,if its that easy may have to dig out the old laptop and crank it up againOh bugger - sorry Rich - never thought about Mac's
The quest for a perfect solution continues![]()
It's a shame because it is so simple.
