+1...I reformatted my 64gb sd card to FAT and Audi now recognizes it

How's the video quality? Anyone else try out video?

hi, has anyone overcome the limitations with number of music folders and/or files in the SD card? I had to delete a lot of music in order for MMI to recognise the artists beginning with "Z". Overall, I must say the MMI capabilities are below my expectations.
as much as MMI isn't perfect, i've tried MB, BMW, and Audi, and I think Audi has the most usable system of all three

hi, i had just over 5000 songs. I had to remove a lot from the SD card for MMI to recognise A ~ Z artists. What's the limit? Is it songs or folders or both?
It's hard to say since you don't list the year, model, and system type in your car. I'm pretty sure the manual for my '11 A4 with MMI lists the max as 4000 songs. The '13 and later MMI models had a higher limit, which I believe was per/folder.
I would think the answer would be in your owners manual.

Hi, thanks for the response. It's a Q5 latest model. Appreciated.
Just an FYI that I struggled with trying to do this for a couple of hours tonight and couldn't get it to work. Finally shelled out the $5 for the Playlist Export App (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id434426826?mt=12) and it worked!
This was for a 2010 S4.
One thing to note though is that the playlists were greyed out for a short period when I first loaded the card. The music would play (from the folders, not the playlists) and I was about to give up because I couldn't even click into the "Playlist" option, see terrible photo below.
But after a couple of minutes I went back and could access the Playlists and everything worked!
Hi Vincenzo,
I saw that you used Playlist Export to get working playlists on your SD Card. I have been trying to make Playlist Export work for a couple of weeks with no luck so far. I always end up with a greyed out playlists folder, but all of the songs play with no problem directly. I am pretty sure that I have some program setting set the wrong way and wondered if you could provide some guidance on how you got it to work.
Hi, the issue I have is that some songs (can't find any logical pattern) are greyed out. Not just from playlist, but when I go into the artist folder as well. My understanding is that SD card has no permission issue, so if I purchased in iTunes under my UK or US account, it should still work. I am using a 2015 / Q5. Any ideas?
thanks in advance
