The structure is fine

It looks like they are out of iTunes and therefore m4a format and not mp3. The RNS does not support anything but mp3 and wav

You'll have to convert them buddy

I had problems with SD cards when I had music in FLAC format on it, re-ripped to MP3 and all was fine. Is MPEG4 supported?

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

here's the advice I got
http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,28589.msg367568.html#msg367568

Leave it off an hour. If it shows the VW screen on boot up then it should be fine  :happy2:

Its also important to note that the VW screen will not always show on boot up

The only time you will see is if you open the door and start the engine/ignition on as quick as you can as it will boot as soon as the door is opened to speed up loading time

Battery goes flat in a day to two days if the issue is there

Most cars March 07 onwards do not suffer this problem however.

its M4A to MP3

MP4 is a video file (even though M4A is called MPEG-4, M4A is the 'audio' version)

You can in fact do it in iTunes if you change the import settings in Edit > Preferences to MP3, then right click the songs you want to convert, choose Create MP3 version

Would recommend you set the quality in the import settings to at least 128kbps (personally I go for 192 or 256 depending on how many songs/how much space you have available)

To seperate them out, right click the columns at the top and choose File Type, and then youll have a new column that shows if its an MP3 or not

Does that help  :happy2:
