I was reading about the Jukebox storage feature in advance of taking delivery of my car and I have a few questions someone may be able to shed some light on:

1. Has anyone loaded music to Jukebox and is it a time consuming process?
2. is he jukebox storage on the Cayman and Boxster only 11GB?
3. can the storage capacity be increased (especially since I have about 30GB of music)?
4. I will load all my music on a pen drive and leave it in the glove compartment attached to the USB port.....question is it a slow process to retrieve the music from a USB device as the source? I will be using a 3.0 USB with up to 100MB/s read capability.....

If possible, I would much prefer being able to have all my music stored on the cars hard drive.........

I'd recommend the jazz album Fragile by Robert Len which is available on HD tracks though. A superb recording that they have available in numerous formats & sample rates (I have it in Flac 192/24). It's probably my favourite album that I've purchased from that particular site.

Just as I suspected!

You have horrible taste in music... And most likely, horrible taste in food as well. :laugh: Thankfully, you have REALLY good taste in cars, so it's kind of a wash

Hey at least unlike yourself I wouldn't scream & wet myself at the very sight of Justin Bieber. I also have an extremely varied taste in music & enjoy artistes from just about all genres with the notable exclusion of opera (just never been able to abide it). I own many thousands of recordings so if you wish to discuss the subject of music elsewhere I'll happily do so, just not here, as this is for 718's (Hopefully one day that might finally sink into your skull). As for food (though I'm not quite sure why you're waffling on about that on a 718 forum again), I've travelled & still do travel extensively. I've also lived in Singapore as well as Germany, Belgium, France & the U.K & also eaten at a great many Michelin starred restaurants. So the chances are that my palette is considerably more experienced & refined than your own. So you just keep wallowing in your ignorance & stuffing your face with oversized burgers & I'll keep to eating the likes of smoked eel with foie gras (fabulous, I ate that & many other delicacies at Vandal a few weeks back on one of the Spanish islands. Possibly the same night you were tucked up in your trailer chowing down on mac & cheese).

Thank you for this very clear answer. I will try what you suggest. I really appreciate it, as it was driving me a little crazy.

Well, my response above is a bit out of order and makes no sense in its current context, but I was replying to Chilli's post #40. Thanks again Chilli.

Chilli, I'm only going to say this ONE time: stop private messaging me to go out. I am simply NOT interested in dating you, having dinner with you, etc... You're simply not my type... That being said, I do appreciate your persistence...

I could use a little help with music content copied to the my SD cards. For some reason, I cannot see the Album Artwork on a few albums???

I typically purchase CD's online, then convert the files to ALAC saving to my local drive, then copy to my SD cards. For some reason, Apple iTunes never seems to have the cover artwork available.

If I view the SD card files on my MacBook Pro, I can see the artwork, but plugging in back into the car I get a generic album cover displayed.

I typically copy the artwork from an album cover image file I find online. The in car audio varies from to good to excellent depending on the recording.

Any guidance is appreciated.

I too rip from the source to WAV, but use MediaHuman Audio Converter to convert to ALAC. Within, there is an option to pull from multiple sources for artwork (Discogs, Last.fm and Google). All show up just fine when playing in my CGTS.

Most of my sources are 24bit 96kHz DVD-A and Blu-ray audio, so it mirrors the quality.

Hope this helps!

I had about 60 albums in .wav format on a USB stick. I decided to try it, even though manual doesn't say it supports .wav
Works perfectly and exact copy of original CDs.
