    I tried this method, but it will not let me do it. I can copy the complete playlist, but when I try to paste in to the thumb drive folder, "paste" is shadowed out. 99 percent of my music is ripped for the 1000 CD's I own, I guess its Apple's way of only using their devices. My Ipod is dying and I wanted to use the info and songs from my ipod because I have spent numerous hours tagging all the song info correctly, so the voice commands will work properly with my Ford Sync system. Apple can shove their proprietary crap up their you know what...

      @@pilula65 Unfortunately I didn't.. I gave up and added everything manually to a thumb drive. I orginally wanted to pull them from my Itunes library, because everything was properly tagged for the voice commands in my vehicle. But unfortunately Apple makes everything difficult and proprietary.

    Hi. I'm trying to do this on a Mac. I can carry out all the steps right up until you mention looking for a yellow folder (03:45), but obviously there is no such thing on a Mac. Please could you tell me how to continue from that point ? Many thanks.

    I found this video when searching what went wrong for me. Looks like I did everything right, but on my car stereo the playlist is out of order and several tracks are duplicated. However, on the usb, everything looks to be in order, with every track on there just once.
    Any ideas?

    • @cwtek1
      @cwtek1  11 місяців тому

      If you have a playlist file on the usb this maybe dictating the order of the songs.

      @cwtek1 It does work but I could not cast to a tv to view the movies on big screen. However, I can watch the movies from the device they were sent to. The reason is because Apple sends the files differently if the movie was not paid for from the account the file was sent to.

    Is there a method to play the songs on the usb in the same order as your playlist. The usb just the mp3's in alphabetic order. Is there a remedy?

    • @cwtek1
      @cwtek1  Рік тому +1

      Devices are preset to play in different orders depending on the manufacturer. Some are set to play alphabetical you could try renaming the songs and add numbers at the front of the file name in the order you want tot. play them ie name the first song 001 then second 002 etc and see if they play in order.
