Has anyone had any success loading music through the pcmcia slot? I've just wasted a few hours of my life copying music to a sd card and then tried to load music using a pcmcia memory card adaptor. But no luck!
Suggestions?

Look in the w204 forum. There are a bunch of threads on this.

Yes - last weekend I loaded a 4 GB flash card using the following adapter:

What format are your music files in? Mine are all variable bit WAV files - works great!

There are several threads on the W204 fourum

Thanks I'm of to buy the adapter. I'll be downloading music from iTunes on my Mac, so I suppose they're MP3 files. Do I need to convert them?

The files need to be MP3 with .mp3 as the file extension. iTunes will store in their format or MP4 so you need to convert the files.

The problem with iTunes songs is they are (by default) DRM-protected .m4p format if you bought them off the net. If you imported from CD they should be unprotected .m4a files. I think you can do a straight conversion of .m4a files, but .m4p files will need a "hack" program to remove the DRM (google).

Otherwise, when you burn a CD from iTunes you get straight .wav files (which will play in any car stereo), but you only get the typical 12-16 songs since theres no compression. So you could burn some songs on a CD-RW, convert them to MP3s, burn again with more songs, etc. but that's a pain in the ***.
