RCD510 SD Card

[ope126]

I think 32GB.
I am running a 8GB SDHC card with no issues.

Old thread I know, but just got a 16GB SDHC (Class 10) card for my RCD510, loaded it up with about 6GB of music, problem is when the car starts it takes ages to start up.
I have set it up with 6 high level folders
A-H, I-O, Q-Z, JJJ Live, JJJ Like a Version, JJJ Hottest 100 CD
Below that are either album folders (for the JJJ folders), or artist, then album folders - max depth 4 folders. Did this to make it easy for me to find stuff.
I have read conflicting reports on what is the best structure to have -a flat directory structure, or a tree'd structure.
Took about 1min to load up when I first put the card in, which I expected, but then about the same when I restarted the car (after stopping to go to the ATM - about 2 min).
Has anyone played with this to see how it behaves and what is the best structure to have? Had also seen the playlist trick as well (put all your playlists up top, and use these to look into the folders) - is this any better? I thought the card would only index once and then be a fast startup after that.

I am using a 32Gb SDHC for my RCD510 with about 8Gb of music.

I first tried a structure of by Artist Name > Albums > Tracks and they loaded in about 90 secs. Then I switched that over to being Artists A to E > Artists > Albums > Tracks and it loaded in 83 secs. So no real noticeable difference for me.

When I turned off power to the car and turned back again, there was no real delay in returning to the same track that was playing when I turned off the ignition.

Have you found any better way of structuring it?

Cheers

Hey guys, I'm sure I've seen this problem posted before but I can't for the life of me remember where - so I thought I'd post up the question here.


I've got an RCD-510 in the Golf R, and at the moment I'm listening to audiobooks off a 2Gb SD card.

The problem is, the audiobook (mp3) is divided into multiple files. Each time it goes to play a new file, it chops off the first 2-3 seconds of audio.

I remember seeing someone else had a similar problem (possibly with the MDI) on an RCD-510.

Can anybody remember this issue? Or has anybody experienced the same problem?

I think you're referring to a problem with the MDI playing mp3s on iPods, that is somewhat rectified with the latest firmwares. I've not encountered the problem using an SD card in my RNS, or my dad's RCD in his CC.
