Storing music
The music tracks from CDs, DVDs and USB devices can be stored in the music collection in the vehicle and played from there.
> Audio CD: tracks are converted into a compressed audio format when they are
stored. If available, information on the album, such as the artist, is stored as
well.
> CD/DVD or USB device with compressed audio files: the entire content of the CD/
DVD or the USB device is stored in the vehicle as an album. After storing, the tracks
and directories can be deleted individually. Files are only stored in the WMA, MP3,
M4A, and AACformats.
Tracks with DRM copy protection can be stored in the vehicle but cannot be played back.
Regularly back up the music data; otherwise, it could be lost if there is a fault on the hard disc.
