[QUOTE="zaph, post: 6432394, member: 616163"] My brother in-law gave me this head unit this summer. I installed it and everything works great with the iPod, but if I plug in a USB memory stick, roughly half of my MP3's show up as "Unsupported Format". Some of these MP3's are CD rips that I did with iTunes and others are legal downloads from eMusic.com. Does anyone know which magic encryption settings I need to convert these MP3s to be supported? I googled on and off for a few months now and tried a few things like avoiding VBR or keeping a low bitrate like 128, but no dice. Some of the MP3's that DO work are VBR or fixed at 192 or higher. So I'm really at a loss. I also use the same encoder as some of the files that work (LAME). I am assuming the HU uses the iPod's firmware to play tunes on the iPod device and uses its own (less adequate) firmware for USB devices. Any ideas? [/QUOTE]
