I shouldn't think you'd have to do anything to the files. Other then save them as yucky MP3. I wish more things could hand lausless formats and as such had more memory. As rto the M3U list, can the car's media player handle them? What's more, this only matters if you have a particular order in which you want said songs played. An M3U thinging is a play list. If you can navigate such a list and go from song to song, well then, it might just be more convenient to create a M3U play list. Just find out if the Media player can take it though. The car's owner manual should have a section on this I'd hope.

Unlike my Dad's car, my Mom's car doesn't have a cd player, and when we go on road trips to Canada, we often use her car. So I was just wondering, once I have the songs I want downloaded to the computer, do I have to do anything special to the files in order to get them to play correctly in the car? Should I save all the files as one long .m3u file or can I just put the files on the drive as individual mp3s. The way the thumb drive in my Mom's car works, is simple. All you have to do is put the thumb drive in, and the music starts playing. Then, when you're finished listening, you simply pull the drive out and the radio starts playing again. Cool huh? Thanks in advance for your help. Mike Rochester, NY.
