Default SIM card/jukebox question

Howdy,

I've never used the Jukebox or a SIM card. I'd call Audi, but they're worthless.

Can I play music from the SIM card or do I first have to import the music from the SIM card to the Jukebox? I'd try this myself, but I want to get my question answered before I order a SIM card. And I don't have a spare one here to try.

If it will play music from a SIM card is there a limit to the size of the SIM card that can be used? My music library is 30 gig.

Thanks,

I meant to say "SD" instead of SIM.

You mean SD card. The SIM card is used for cellular data access.

Do not need to transfer to jukebox.

32 GB is largest size supported.

The best sound you are gonna get from the Bose (no highs, no lows, just Bose!) will be via the SD cards. I have one loaded with music the other loaded with books & use them most of the time for my listening pleasure. I have the jukebox loaded with entire albums vs. playlists on the SD card.

Yes, you can play directly from the Sd cards. One reason I don't like using the jukebox is that unless the music you are importing uses certain ID3 tags (forget which version) the music imports in a complete unorganized mess.

I find the jukebox capacity to be too small anyway to be of any real use. Stick with the Sd cards.

Agree with you on jukebox re-org & why I use it just to store entire albums.

Howdy All,

Many thanks!

I'll add that the sub-woofer enhancement has made the Bose car stereo go from below average, to...pretty good.

Hey Gang,

One more question.

SD cards can be kind of cranky. Can you post which one you bought? Here's one from Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-32GB-F...4545685&sr=8-1

Will this work?

Thanks again,
