I listen to these hour-long EDM mixes pretty often. When I turn my car on, open PowerAmp, and press play, it usually takes about 10 seconds for the song to start. The files are probably a little over 100 MB each if I'm remembering correctly, and I'm using a class 10 microSD card that boasts read speeds of up to 90 MB/sec (so I'm sure it averages closer to 40 or 50), so these files should load pretty fast. PowerAmp is loaded into the internal Ca-Fi storage, not the SD card. Any ideas on why this is so slow? My unit is not rooted and is completely stock, haven't even updated it.
I don't really know man, since I just use a high capacity (256gb!) flash drive hooked up to a hub on this sucker for all my music. I have an SD card in there but I don't even put my apps on there because I have experienced issues with the apps that I've moved over, so maybe the SD card slot is just not fast enough or something. My recommendation of course would be to get a slim hub and double sided tape it to the roof of your glove box, then get a flash drive for all your music.
