Memory Cards

I'm pretty sure this may have been asked previously, but what sort of memory cards can you use for music on the leon mk3? is it fussy about make/type and capacity - is there a max?

thanks!

Snap - works like a dream. Generally I don't think you can go wrong with Sandisk stuff.

I'm using a 16Gb SDHC card. Was lucky and got two for £20 when buying a new digital camera, so had one spare. Mine is a class 10, but not sure if high speed cards are really necessary for playing music.

I rip my music using Windows Media player and just copy/pasted the folders onto it. That way it also copied the album art which shows up on the screen, which is nice.

 

[robtheplod]

excellent thanks for that!

SD cards come in a few types dependent on their size, up to 32gb is SDHC and should be supported by the media system, 32gb upwards is SDXC and might not be supported as its quite new.

32Gb Sandisk Ultra (well, bought off eBay so you never know) works perfectly and loads instantly.

All the best

I wonder if we could put a 80gb hard drive onto the USB cable???

32gb SD is the max card permissible.

Right, now I've been told my FR is waiting on the dockside at Barcelona it's time to sort my music! With a 32GB SDHC card, would creating a folder for each album and copying the files into these work ok? What format should the music files be in?

Does the SDHC card need to formatted in FAT or NTFS?

cheers!!!

I'd go with FAT if i were you. Its unlikely it would support NTFS.

I agree, you are safe with FAT.

Just bought a Sandisk 32Gb SDHC (class 4) from play.com for £14.57

I use a "Samsung 64GB Class 10 UHS-1 MicroSDXC Pro Memory Card" via a Sandisk micro SDXC to SD converter.

This works fine

I'm using a Samsung 32gb SD card not sure of the speed but I think its higher than normal and it works fine
