MP3 misunderstanding
Posted: Mon Apr 02, 2012 9:16 am
Hi.
I've just bought a Passat and didn't think it had an iPod connector....I was wrong. Anyway, to get around this assumed problem I bought a cheap bit of gear off eBay that lets you play music from an SD. card or plugged in Mp3 player by transmitting it on a frequency you can tune your radio into. Only cost about a fiver.
I then got a 4GB SD card and began copying CD's from my lap top onto it. 25 CD's in all so I stopped to test it out.
Didn't get a sound, no songs no nothing. So I checked the content of the card and discovered I'd inadvertently copied all the music in MP4a format, blooming senile old git I am. The player will only transmit Mp3's, so I'm sat here re-naming all the tracks of the 25 CD's to Mp3. Boring!!!!!
You live and learn.
