The system supports CF card, Flash ATA card, and SanDisk 6-in-1 Card Adapter, so the questions is what file format have you saved them in? They should be saved in MP3 or WMA files.

 

Thanks for your reply - I actually found the solution in this thread here.

I made sure all the files were converted to mp3 format but it seems that the Mac I am using made 'hidden' files I could not see when the CF card was plugged in. I downloaded the 'CleanMyDrive2' free software and it removed all the hidden files so now the card plays fine - so relieved!

 

Welcome to the forum! Moving to Mobile Electronics section. Wow! They still have CF there? iTunes files are not mp3 files, they are m4p files, which is a different format, and iTunes imbeds copy protection into them, which is why they would not play. Over here in the US, my radio doesn't have any card capability, only AUX. SO I have my music on my Android phone, which has a 200 Gb microSD card in it. The ripped music on my computer is in iTUnes. So, I use an app called DoubleTwist, which installs on the computer and the phone. It automatically converts the m4p's to mp3's as it transfers them to the phone's memory. Now I can carry my over 2500 CDs of music on my phone if I want to. Crazy, but it works.

Of course, iTunes can rip to mp3, but they still imbed the copy protection. I ripped my music long before all this stuff came about, so I had to adapt. It will all change again when I do my coming audio upgrade to an aftermarket system. So I will have to re-rip all my music toa higher resolution file format, which will take nigh on to forever! Fun!

Anyway, thanks for sharing that good information with us!

Um, our 2010 had a Compact Flash drive. It also had USB, which you could use for either iPod, or memory stick (flash drive). We went with the flash drive, as it was cheaper and easier to use, than CF.

I have ripped my music 3x now (1100 CD's). I first ripped, using iTunes to MP3 128 kbps, which did not have any extra embedded files. You only got that if you purchased music off of iTunes, which I never did. The 2nd time I again used iTunes to rip at 256 kbps, which made a huge difference. This last time, I went with FLAC, which is lossless, using JRiver, but it's harder to find devices that will play it. Many new vehicles now support that format, like the Acura RDX and other higher end vehicles. Some Hyundai models also support it, so it won't be long until all do.
