| What apart from Ipods for music storage? |
|
Not really up on these things, are there any other good alternatives for music storage in the D4 rather than Apple?
Cheers

What MY D4 do you have? Because on the MY12 D4's you can copy CD's on the car system. Or if you dont have a MY12 D4 USB drive is a good idear

Not of the top of my head  My dad just uses a normal USB stick on his. But i suppose you could use a plug in hard-drive. With a USB plug on it.

If you truly have tons of music and want to carry it all around then you could try a portable hdd
something like these:

Just make sure you organise it in folders or get something like iTunes to do it otherwise navigating through it ight be a right pain.

Ok, so what I have I done wrong ???
Copied all music from itunes to a folder and copied it to a new stick
Tried it in the car, it says connecting but then just says 'device error'
Is it something I have done or a car / stick problem?
Many thanks
Cliff

If the music tracks were in apple format before, they will need to be converted to mp3 format for use on a usb stick, or if you have the softare you can just rip the music off a cd straight to mp3 format.
