Title: Sound system help!
Post by: Abarth 595 Competizione on June 23, 2020, 12:58:32 pm
Just a query if I may please regarding the sound system in our Abarths. Mines a series 3.
I have a memory stick plugged in with about 70 songs on it, but after adding the latest song I keep getting a message come over the system saying something about check the amount of items etc, basically I think it thinks there are too many songs on there?
Have I done something wrong? Is there a limit? They are all MP3 by the way, and not compressed or messed with in any way.
Thanks in advance for any help offered.

Series 3 would be Blue&Me, not UConnect.
I hit problems with the last generation (2015 180 Comp) Blue&Me system when I got to around 16GB on a 32GB stick of 256kbps m4a tracks. It wouldn't complain but there would be noticeable audio glitches/cracks/pops which sometimes sorted themselves out after a few weeks.
Rescan would take a while after adding new songs. The more you add, the longer it takes.
Are they all in one folder? I had everything in folders by artist and album, eg Drive:/Artist/Album/Track Number - Track Name.m4a. All tracks had metadata. Sometimes it wouldn't read a particular tracks data so I would swap memory stick with a small one with a single album on, let it scan and then swap them back forcing a rescan. One issue with metadata is some long track names it would scroll the display to show it all. Others it would cut off the name. Might be metadata versions/format.
Didn't use playlists so can't say on that front.
