Playing music through USB drive...

[Jester]

Everytime I turn my car off and back on, the USB drive plays from the first song (it doesn't remember what track i was on like it does when you play a CD). Anyone experiencing this?

How is your music laid out?

mine doesn,t do that.....but the "random" isn't so random on mine.....I find that it plays the same songs in the same order over and over.....the only fix i've found for this is to unplug and re plug it in.

IMO it's worth getting an ipod and leaving it permanently in the car. It works as it should.

I have a Sansa mp3 player and don't experience this issue.

any advantage to getting a new ipod nano with blue tooth and leaving it in the car as a dedicated music player over using your iphone?

i love that it will play wirelessly, but the nano will still have to be charged. do the nanos have a super long battery life or something?

Well I dont know how people use their phones / ipod but I think it's just an hassle to plug your phone or sync it each time I get it. I'd rather have a cabled player permanently in the car with my songs on it, it's reliable and works like you expect it to work, shows artists and playlist / covers and whatnot.

I start the car and the music starts playing where it was from before...like it should be (you know, like the the days of casettes and CD's lol)

I've tried playing my music from my cell phone via blue tooth and the sound quality just isnt there....it's like listening through a tin can.

How about the days of those first portable cd players wired up using the casette tape adapter. I was lucky and had "mechanical" antishock....translate...a spring

I find the quality of the bluetooth transfer to be the same as AUX.

iTunes match FTW anytime I add music to my iTunes its on my iPhone no need to sync. 19,000 songs available and streams them thru my phones Internet. Bluetooth is the way to go

Mine is the same quality either way. Sounds great.

USB will give best sound quality, but the speakers suck so much balls I'm not sure if it matters.

I actaully just bought myself a "car iPod" because I was sick of plugging in and un-plugging my phone!

In my experience....I agree with that.

As for the apeaker quality... I made the investment into the OEM audio plus system 400 and my system sounds great! (and nothing rattles)
