I am needing to replace the stereo in my van and was interested in one that excepts SD Cards. Presumably you load your music in MP3 format or similar onto the card and then listen to it through the car stereo.
Presumably the car stereo picks up file information from the SD card and creates a menu so as you can search through and select the music.
All my music is currently on my hard drive in WAV format and has been sourced from both vinyl and CD, so I doubt there is hidden file info for many of the tracks, now I can quite easily turn these into MP3s But where is the information stored that will show Artist and track detail, is it the extended file attributes?
The only file information currently available is the file name, size, created and modified. I have all the file names in the following format
Thin Lizzy - Rosalie.wav
Imelda May - Roadrunner.wav
Iggy Pop - Lust for Life.wav
With only this info what am I likely to see on a car stereo that accepts SD cards.
I don't have an ipod so have no idea how their file structures work
