USB PORT UNDER ARM REST

rip them as Wave files or FLACs, essential is to choose an uncompressed format.

Full Waves would be nice, but I don't think our cars support them. Plus, they take up a lot of space.

Well you all managed to lose me on this, I do know that the cd's I cut sound fine the way I've been doing it, and since I don't know how to do it any other way, anyhow........... I have a good ear, so I guess I'm ok.

These days we can get 32 GB sticks or bigger for cheap so that is solved. To be honest never used the USB port I mostly do CDs, FM radio or XM and that when I can convince myself that the engine growl is not a better music for my car ;) it would be really disappointing if the car does not recognize 44/116 waves...
 
What program are you using to get the music on your computer right now? It will usually have a bitrate adjustment. A number of programs default to 192kbs ... but you can adjust it up/down. The higher you go, the better the audio quality...at the expense of file size. Reducing it below 192 creates a smaller file size, but lessens the audio quality.

I use exact audio copy ( eac ) for extracting clean wave files and then I sometimes use the FLAC utility to compress them size wise losselesly, mp3s I never do it if I have the CD.

they have linux and MacOS versions as well for FLAC. not sure about EAC.

Burning I use InfraRecorder free great SW for windows. Not sure of MacOS, lots of other free ones on Linux.

I was referring to Waves played off of the USB stick. As far as the engine growl and music. Sometimes the music causes me to hit the rev limiter because I cannot hear the growl...

I'm sure I'll want to buy more..........

I've been listening to my Ipod in the car. I love the Ipod's user interface and it was loaded with my favorite tunes when I got my Si.

I've never had an issue with it being plugged in 24-7. If you turn the car off while it's plugged in, you'll see it's no longer getting "charged" by the usb. So, it kills power to the port when you turn the car off.

Yep, same concept as the 12V port
