Sorry for the delay. Finally had time to take 2 photos out from the MM. The quality of the photo is very bad as they were taken from my PDA phone. But should still be ok to see the chinese characters display on the MM screen.

Let me know if you want other info.

Cheers

Yes, you can put them in any folders within folders as well. If the pictures are clear enough, you should see that those files are from a folder called ipod_rip, which is in another folder called mp3.

Hope this information helps.

As I understand, the system can only play MP3 files from the PCMCIA slot. Your folder appears to be from ipod. Did you convert them from ipod files to MP3's? How did you do it?

The system, at least the COMMAND APS that I have with the folding screen, can also play MP3s burned on DVD-R(W) discs. Much more convenient than trying to find a compatible PCMCIA card as I recently found out

Recently bought, trough Ebay, a Viking 32-bit PCMCIA Card CF converter together with a CF card of 4GB. Well, I don't know if it's because, according to the manual, the car only accepts 16-bit cards or something else but the final result is that no deal. No error message, I just can't select the PCMCIA sound source on the COMMAND so I'm assuming that that's that.

Until someone is willing to post their experiences with CF PCMCIA adapters, I'm sticking to the MP3 DVD solution...

Hello, I am currently using a 4GB Kingston 266x CF card with a Vertibam PCMCIA adaptor, and so far, I have no problem with either of them.
