AMI Compressed Formats
 
I noticed the seller of my car had a CD full of MP3s in the CD changer.

What formats can it read? I'd really like to fill it with tracks in Apple Lossless, but I fear the chances are slim of them being read.

Your fears are correct, pretty much just MP3, and pretty sure it won't do lossless then either.

Its a common fear with D3 owners, and 320Kb/Sec MP3 is the best it seems to manage (in my experience) but to be honest, even though I'm a bit of an audiophile, even with the B&O I can't honestly say it lets it down any +++

Fiddlesticks.

Hmm... OK, thanks, IT!

Worst case, just turn the music right down, and enjoy the engine +++

Ha ha! That's not a bad idea! :)

If you're old enough to run an Audi and can hear the difference between lossless and MP3 at 128kb VBR, you're a lucky man :ROFL:

I am now using two hearing aids that have managed to restore a lot of my missing higher frequencies but I have to admit that though I record my MP3 tracks at 320 they sound the same as those recorded at 128.
But then I am just a Boring Old Fahrt now.
