I am a first time BMW owner, really really happy with my 2017 430i I might add!īut does BMW issue a lot (or any) software update for drive, stereo etc?To meet the stores guidelines, there are certain requirements for the artwork of each and every release. Even if I removed file and put in a different copy I end up seeing the old and new file when I insert the USB stick back in the car.Īny advice here? Cant I remove a song/replace it or do I need to re-format the stick?Īlso what is the best format to use, FAT 32? I never read anywhere that Apple lossless format in >320 kbps is not supported.ĭid I miss it somewhere and do you think it will be supported in an upcoming upgrade of the SW for the system or should I just re-rip my songs and get it over with?Īnother question. Any m4a song in 256kbps or lower bitrate was fine (Yes, I am an Apple guy through and through). These were the songs I had ripped in Apple Lossless format. Some of my songs in m4a format refused to play and I finally figured out why. However I ran into another issue that I wasn't expecting. Some files already have it but most don't. If you use a Mac you can just use a tool like Metadatics to add art that is missing. Funny, the Genius told me this was not possible. If you ensure you use a tool to include the album art within the audio file itself the iDrive will display when playing the song, after a few seconds.
