Can you copy mp3 music to the Tiguan Rline's 10GB Hard Drive ?

Yeah, saw that it cam read FLAC, but at the time of doing it, I didn't have time to re-rip my collection into the new format...saving it for a rainy day

You don't have to use MP3 these days, other formats such as FLAC sound a lot better. I have about 400 GB of FLAC and WAVE files ripped from my CD's which I switch around on SD cards as needed and it is far easier and quicker to copy to a SD card than from an SD card to the jukebox. The internal Jukebox is so small for bigger files that I just ignored it. My previous car had about 110 GB drive in the RNS 510 and it would only read MP3's so it never got filled up and was slow as ditch water to load from the cards.

I use 128 GB SD cards and the USB stick and have no issues, I have audio books on one, music on another and podcasts on another. I routinely listen to the books but if someone is in the car with me I switch over to the music and I can then switch back to the book without losing my place, the podcasts get the same treatment because I can stop and go back to the same place. it is a very versatile system used that way. BTW I never listen to the radio at all but my son does so I know it works but I have never turned it on from new.

I just have music as a background and think listening to someone reading a book to you as akin to talking on the phone and a distraction from your driving.
I look at driving as a full time job and the less distractions the better. It has been my full time job in the past for many years.

Every one to their own of course


How did you get a drive that big in the RNS510 seeing as factory was 30/40 GB and yes it was slow to copy them to it and even worse when you had to delete files one at a time ( dont ask how I know)

Driving was my full time job for 25 years and I have no trouble listening to a book but each to his own. I bought the drive and Kamold put it in and formatted it. he is a clever bloke is Kamold.

I did it a few days ago I have about 2000mp3 tracks on my computer so I put them on an SD card, put it in slot 1 and told it to copy them to the hard drive After a while it was all done and music plays fine

Took SD card out to use it to upgrade Map in Navigator which also worked but had to be loaded from Slot 2.

I originally put them in a folder on the SD card but the system said invalid file system so just loaded them all in the root directory and they copied OK

Thanks - all worked well
