How slow is the Bolero when trying to read from a 16GB card filled with music? Is it slow to navigate, slow on startup, or is it actually quite usable?

If you have a fast SD card, there should not be any delays at all. Class 6 cards are the current fastest, although some Class 10 cards are due to hit the market soon.

Mine is a class 4 and it gets progressively slower with each album addition. It rereads upon switch on and if you move up to the parent directory.

So I guess the answer is - yes its slow to startup and navigate but better than loads of mp3 cds!

Is there a 2048 file limit to the amount of MP3 files on an SDCard that can be read by the Bolero? And if there is, is there a way around the limit?

I've got a 2 week old Octavia, and have filled a 16Gb SDCard with MP3s. No matter what folder structure I use, the Bolero only displays the folders that contain the first 2048 files. The last folder displays half an album (i.e. up to the 2048th total file), and no folders are displayed after that one.

2048 is 8 x 256 so sounds like a data type limit.

Thanks,

Sounds a bit strange, I've got a 32gb card in my VRS with about 24gb data and havent experienced any no read data missing.

If you look back a week or so there are a couple of posts with talk of SD cards and problems that might help.

You might find this related post useful. I've spent literally hours trying to get to the bottom of this and even though there are reports on this forum of people with 32GB cards with > 16GB of music loaded onto them who are able to access all their music, I've been singularly unable to access any more than 16GB of music on my 32GB cards, no matter what folder structure I employ. In the end I gave up and reverted to 10 x 16GB cards instead of 5 x 32GB cards. I so wish I'd spec'd an MDI lead and then I would just use a USB HDD in the glovebox. That would have been so much more convenient. FWIW, in my now extensive experience (having repeated this exercise many times in the past couple of weeks :S ) , it takes 35-40 minutes to copy 16GB of data to a 16GB Class 10 card.
