I have downloaded the Bolero brochure ready for getting my Yeti. It says it will play SD memory cards, but not SDHC. I thought these were the same size. Is it correct that they do not work?

Also can I transfer my itunes library from laptop directly onto a card and the radio will read the songs without problem.

 

Looks like the itunes music are in something called "MPEG-4 Audio (.m4a)", whatever that means.

I brought a micro 32Gb standard Class 10. The Bolero can see the card and plays mp3.

 

The SD card is a Micro ADATA SD 32GB as sold via CEX (Computer Exchange) for £18 with a Full size adaptor.

The slot is marked 'SD' but I'm using a 16 GB SanDisk SDHC Class 4 playing .mp3 tracks.  I have 300+ tracks loaded, which account for just over 10% of capacity. 

 

As mentioned elsewhere: if you use Albums but want to 'mix' between them, have at least one track at root level - i.e. outside the albums - as a sort of 'boot', then hit 'mix'. 

 

(If you interrupt play for any reason, the mix is cancelled and has to be 'rebooted' as above.) 

 

 

I am like eribaMotters above, I don't know how to transfer my music from iTunes ( no idea what format it is currently in) onto an SD card so would greatly appreciate some very simple and explicit advice.

Thanks in expectation.

Tell you how to transfer from iTunes

I can confirm that the Bolero will accept SDHC cards. The manual/brochure is just downright WRONG! My Classic Yeti Bolero would only 'see' the first c2000 tracks on my 32gb SDHC card. My new face lift Yeti Bolero can now see c3000 tracks. If I take the card out and attach it to the optional MDI via a USB reader it can see ALL the 4500 tracks on the card - that is all my music. I have no interest in shuffle play. All my music is in artist folders. If I have five albums of a certain artist (for example) there will be five folders in that particular artist folder. The way the Bolero lets you search quickly for a particular album you want to listen too is exceptionally quick. The way it displays each individual song that is playing  is also slightly more than brilliant. Unlike the MDI in my wife's Polo which is pathetically bad! The only thing that is missing on the Bolero is showing the album art - I know for a fact that this is possible in the Audi Q3 because I have seen it with my own eyes!   

Many thanks Zeanie, that doesn't look too difficult.

Thank you everybody, it looks like I am in look. All I have to do now is transfer the files. I think I'll get one of my sons to do that.

Found this if its any help

 

– MP3 files (.mp3) with Bit rates of 48 to 320 kbit/s or a variable bit rate.
– WMA files (.wma) up to 9.2 or to 10.0 mono/stereo without copy protection.
– Audio files in the OGG-Vorbis and MPEG4 AAC formats.
– Playlists in the PLS, B4S, ASX and WPL formats.
– File names and paths not longer than 256 characters.
– Folder structures with a maximum of eight levels.
– Max. 2048 folders and a max. of 15000 files on audio data CDs.

If,  MPEG-4 Audio is the same MPEG4 AAC it looks like I will not need to do anything promising.

Are these the same thing?

 

I am guessing that 2048 folders would relate to 2048 tracks.

Are you using a PC running Windows? If so no problem, however, if you are running an Apple Mac you will find there are a lot of strange files on your SD card when you insert it into the Bolero radio. These files are not visible on your Mac and are difficult to remove unless you have access to a PC when they can be made visible and deleted. After that everything is fine!!

Should this topic not be better placed in the ICE section?

The Mac files are system files used by the Finder.

There's a free utility called CleanEject which removes these files from SD and USB drives before ejecting them.
