SD Media - 64GB?
Has anyone had success with using a 64GB SD card for music media in their A3? I have more MP3s than will fit on a 32GB card but don't want to grab a 64GB card unless I know it will work.
Thanks in advance!
Chris

There is a 60GB hard drive (if you have the full MMI package) that you can copy anything from the SD card to the hard dirve and you can still use a 32GB SD card for music that you want to change more often. But MP3's are dying (at least for audiophiles) and are the worst level of any recorded music that you can listen to. I have a Pono player coming in a couple months that will make full use of the Bang & Olufson stereo with flac files and full digital 24 bit files, so the SD card slot is still useful but will not play files above the MP3 level. It is great for music concert DVD's as you can stlll listen to the music even if the video does not play while you are moving (it does play full video if you are not moving). And the 5.1 suround sound level from DVD's is much better than MP3's......
Your choice, but I thought I should mention the advantages and drawbacks of the SD card (or USB) sound qualities.

@jdouglas2000 - I should have mentioned that I have a 1.8TFSI Premium without the full MMI. Standard base stuff.
I just ordered a 32GB card and will stuff as much as I can onto it. Perhaps later on I'll get a second one and split between the two, but for now one will be fine.
With regards to MP3 and quality, yep I get it. Everything that I convert from CD I use 256k quality and that seems to be reasonably good enough for in-the-car and iPod use.

Chris

I have a Q 7 2018 Premium Plus w/ package MMI premium plus, and today i run in my system MP4 (VIDEO) in 1T (Terabyte)SD cards but only in 480x720 format. Now I use my 2 USBs to run ONLY MP3s, and running up to 256Gb each w/music files.
