Getting to grips with AMI
Just getting to grips with the AMI system in the S8, so far an 8GB USB stick with MP3's plays fine, but I only have a limited selection of those. Being a bit of an Audiophile I have a full library in FLAC and AIFF lossless file formats, and I am thinking (probably optimistically) that because the car has B&O it might support higher end formats - is this the case?
Also, is there a definitive list anywhere about the max size USB it can handle and what all the supported file formats are? i.e., video as well as audio? Thanks

I have used 64GB thumb drives and a 250GB hard drive.
The drives MUST be formatted in FAT32. My vehicle is a 2004 3.0 TDI and the MMI is at 5570 with Bose. The only files mine will read are MP3s.

The CD changer will be your best bet for sound quality in the D3.

Thanks for the reply guys, I find it shocking the B&O is a £6K option and you can only push lossy mp3s through it. CD is fine, but a lot of my stuff is bought from bandcamp in Flac as I have eclectic tastes
So now I need to back burn onto cd or convert using XLD to mp3 Good news about the 250gb hdd though, when I get back I might see if I can hook up my FiiO X5 II into it

It is disappointing isn't it. I wonder if they could be hacked and flashed with SW to add the function or if there's another way to get lossless files into the system. I'm not too concerned myself/don't have B&O
 , but if I had the B&O I'd definitely want to be playing lossless files.

Yep I was also shocked to find B&O could only paly through MP3. It's not like we've been lacking Gb's of storage for years now.
I use 320GB HDD, and I guess an SSD would be fine too. The idea of hacking it to play lossless is very appealing. We need an OCD audiophile with a D3 B&O and IT skills... someone?
