Using USB for Music
Just to ad to my earlier post I think from memory mine is a Sandisk 64gig. Not failed once. The only gripe I have with the whole system is the sat nav that takes me all over the place to get to destination. Which is not a bad thing as it takes longer to get there. More miles in the rice crispiemobile.

So sod's law - since i booked it in for a warranty check i can't get it to break !
debating if i should still go (still a week) - i have an issue signing into NAV anyway so might just take it along and also get that resolved - also opportunity to get software release update installed

Just bought an F-Type today (V6S 2014, basic sound system). Plugged in my USB and it plays but pauses briefly every few seconds. File format is AAC 320k.
Is there a recommended file format and bit rate?
Thanks,

PS no urgency, I’m enjoying the exhaust sound too much to need music

Had problems with some high bitrates but all good now after re-encoding to 192kbps.grum wrote: ↑Sat Jun 22, 2019 9:19 pm Just bought an F-Type today (V6S 2014, basic sound system). Plugged in my USB and it plays but pauses briefly every few seconds. File format is AAC 320k.

Couple of "basics" that tend to solve a few problems with the Jag infotainment systems on other models too.
Make sure you use a USB3 stick (blue in the plug end). USB2's have caused problems.
On startup wait for the car to load itself up. Often people go straight to the USB and think it's busted when in fact it's still loading.
A good guide if you have a SIM installed is to wait until the 3/4G symbol comes up and that will be about right for the USB to be ready.
As regards the nav taking people all over the place check the settings.
Route options may have things ticked that you need to uncheck.
If you want the most direct/shortest route it will just find any road in a straight line including farm tracks etc etc.
Sometimes the fastest route although longer mileage-wise is better.

Hmmm. I've now tried three different USB sticks and a selection of file formats and bitrates. Same problem every time, I can navigate the through the folders and files but when I select a file to play, it either displays an error message on the touchscreen (something like "file or folder not found") or the track plays but pauses every few seconds. I'm beginning to suspect that the USB socket might be a bit dodgy...oh well

I noted similar MP3 issues if I copied Amazon Music MP3 direct to a usb stick it wouldn't play anything. However, if I used windows media player to rip from CD it worked everytime. I concluded bitrate and format were an issue so always copy music at the same format and bitrate and works everytime.
