playback of PC recorded tracks on SD/mmc card in BeoSound 4

15 replies

hi,

 

i have been told that the SD card in BS4 can only be used to play back tracks that have been recorded to it from CD using the BS4 and not from MP3 that are currently stored on my PC.

 

If true whats the point of the card reader then?

 

 

No thats not true,πŸ˜•
so it will play any mp3 thats stored on my PC or do i have to convert them?
My BS4 plays all MP3 files recorded with Beoplayer and Windows Media Player and moved to the SD card via BS2.
Yes...
MP3,   8 kbps to max. of 320 kbps.
WMA,  5 kbps to max. of 192 kbps.
32, 64, 128, 256, 512 Mbyte, 1 and 2 Gbyte SD/MMC
Tracks must be placed in folders
the SD card mustn't be the high speed type(100x)
so you have to use beoplayer? you cant just drag the files to the card using the built in card reader my pc has?
also no problem in that, just remember the folders πŸ™‚

cheers, what kbps is the lowest that should be used before deterioration of quality in bs4 and the bl3s?

 

whats best mp3 or wma?

 

 

I think it's about 128kbs but I'm sure someone will correct thisπŸ˜• If I remember correctly 192kbs is the same as CD
MP3,   8 kbps to max. of 320 kbps.
WMA,  5 kbps to max. of 192 kbps.

Sorry, tracks must be placed in folders? As in, each track in its own folder, or the entire selection of tracks in a single folder?
