File Structure on RNS510 For MP3 Playback

[Swallowtail]

I can only assume this problem came from your DVD. I copied about 5 DVD's worth of mp3 to my RNS510 and the names are not limited to eight characters.

Yes, as I said, I'm pretty sure I burned it with the wrong filesystem type. To be honest thought the dreadful slowness of the DVD copying was the main killer of that for me. The copy rate off DVDs is about 4Mbit/s, or less than 1/2 MB per second. ZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...... Whilst the SD cards are still slow, they are about twice the speed of copying off DVDs.

LOL - I like the line in the RNS510 manual - "your navigation system is a powerful computer". Uh-huh. 400MHz of blistering speed....

One thing I did notice was that the copying of files from the DVD continued even if I turned the car off, so it was not quite so painful.

It does indeed... for 30 minutes only, in which time it will only copy less than 1GB off a DVD. It then turns off mid-copy and stops, leaving you with no idea of how far it has actually got without going through each folder and checking...

Quicker off SD cards though.

Oh oh,

Better check to see if I copied all my music over.
