[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1264110"] Probably not, actually guys. Yes, the copy method you describe will work, but IME a lot of car radios are looking for DOS naming convention files (ie TRACK01.mp3, TRACK02.mp3 etc). No more than eight letters plus MP3 extension, no spaces etc. If just copying them over doesn't work for the reason I mentioned, a workaround: iTunes will let you burn an MP3 CD (I know, that's not what you want, bear with me here) to fit the capacity of the disc, which allows for many hours worth of music. Select a playlist up to 700MB, burn the MP3 CD onto a blank CD. THEN put the MP3 CD back into the computer, and copy the files **off the CD** onto your thumb drive. They will all have the proper naming and structure the car radio will likely be looking for. [/QUOTE]
