USB Stick or MP3 Player
Like most of you, I am waiting impatiently for my Camaro to come in. In the mean time, I am thinking of all the things I want to get for it. The first thing I am gonna get is either a USB stick or an MP3 player to dedicate to the car. I know the radio can control both, and I know if will recognize the ID3 tag on the file but I wondering if it will recognize playlists on an MP3 player and allow you to play them or will it just dump all your songs into on list.
If it will, I will buy a small MP3 player and use that, otherwise I can get a USB stick for much cheaper. I tried searching the threads for an answer to this question but couldn't find one. Sorry if I missed it. Thanks. |

Plus you can hide the USB Stick and if it gets stolen they cost like $10. Stick for sure!

I spent about 8 hours transferring my CD's to a USB stick yesterday in anticipation of our 5th Gen. I hope I did it correctly!
What is going to prevent stuff stored in the console of the car from banging against the USB stick, causing it to loosen up or break off?

Why not USB hard drive? Much more music.

Hey Codeman. Will the Camaro dig through subfolders while it's indexing songs? When I transfer music from my PS3 onto a thumb drive, it always goes into a "/Music/Artist_Album" type folder, like "/Music/Metallica_Reload." Is that going to work fine for the Camaro, or do I need to move all the mp3's from all the albums into one big folder?
