If you are copying music files from iTunes on your computer to an SD card, be sure to copy from the iTunes Music folder where the songs are stored and not copy directly from the iTunes app itself. Also, the folder structure on the card should be: Artist>Albums>Songs. Playlists can be trickier - do an AW search for info.

Note that any older "AAC Protected" files will copy but not play in the MMI. You can check if you have any of these by viewing file type in iTunes.

Great, thanks for the heads up! I'll research the playlist option as well. What are the SD card slot's other uses, if you don't mind me asking?

I believe the only other use is to import directory contacts if you wanted to copy them manually vs. automatically from the phone via Bluetooth.

Ok cool. I'll use the free Sirius trial until I can figure out how to get the SD Card exactly how I want it, lol. All this to not have a cable showing...

Thanks!
