Playing CDs on an SSD Drive in car
- Thread starter Enceladus
- Start date
That’s the USB/ SSD’s formatted type, but that’s not the extensions of the files themselves.
I have a microSD card in a tiny thumb-sized USB C reader plugged into my Leon, loaded with MP3s that play perfectly. Plug it in, go to the media/ radio (purple icon), and it’s one of the menus on the left hand side from memory. You can play all music, or folders only (ie albums for you). It’s possible, for sure.
I have all my CD's on a USB C stick and plug straight into car and works perfect.
I got it ! FAT32 Format ! All works super nice ...........Thank You..................3000 tracks and about 50 DVDs !
You transfer them to FLAC with EAC and no digital loss from compression. FLAC is loss less. You have to doodle with your covers to 500x500 or approximately. EAC will give you a choice of covers. The cover goes in as cover.jpg in the folder if it's not embedded in the music file.
Mp3 isn't loss less or mp4a so if a purist you use FLAC to copy CDs. It's how I moved from an MD changer in my old Altea to the Ateca shifting all my music collection in the home and car to loss less during the 5 month lead time to get the Ateca in 2016. Basically it's then all down to the DAC chip in the infotainment unit or home entainment centre in how it transfer the original digital output of the CD to analogue untouched by lossy compression (mp3 / mp4a)
. Music server in the home. That's the master for SD (mib2) or USB C in mib3 form.
EACs:
That software is free. It's how the audiophiles do it. You select FLAC as the target.
For 96bit sample rate audio and dolby other software exists. That's where you drop your hands on the files. That's Foobar2000 that will transcode and pick up earlier versions of FLAC and recode. Swiss army audio knife.
Then you have Audacity for other tasks like taking iPlayer output and making into FLAC. That will give you a bit for bit translation of any input transpose to something else. Calls public domain audio libraries. You can track with that.
They are all the free audio software main tools.
