Well, I'm not an expert by any means, but I figured this was a side effect of using FAT32. It was not my first choice for the file system, but the native Mac OSX file system was not recognized by the car's audio system, so I had to fall back to FAT32 to get it to work. Is there any drawback to removing the Resource Fork for each file, if my goal is simply to play music in my car?
