Bands Gone, Albums Remain

[Matthewstorm]

Filled up a USB flash drive with music and stuck it in. There are about 20 folders on the drive. Only about 10 folders show up. Some of the bands don't show up at all but the albums are there. Very strange. Is there some setting I'm missing? Thanks.

But that wouldn't explain why the bands don't show up under Artists but their Albums do, right?

Check the metadata tags on the files themselves for that.

Hmmm.... I will ask a child how to do that. Any 6 yo will know.

I had the same problem. All the files are FLAC files which is the best quality. I couldn't find a few either. I brought the USB back in the house and put it back in my laptop to see if they were there and they were. When I put it back in the car they showed up.

Who knows why that happened. I'm sure the quality of the infotainment system is not the best. The one in my M240i is outstanding.

I can't do FLAC. AAC is pretty good too, right?

Pretty good, but still lossy. Encode at the highest bitrate you can.

Yeah. USB memory is cheap. Fill it up with the good stuff.

Wow almost 60 threads and 1200+ messages in a little over 3 months . You might consider starting your own forum!

Ah, but which of us is king?

Not me, that is for sure!

I'm using iTunes. My only option is m4a.

So, I stepped outside the box and found a site that sells FLAC music. Don't know why I never thought if this before. It is a bit pricy. But hopefully makes a difference with my custom system. No more iTunes.
