I just got my truck today. I put a Creedence CD in to copy, said it was done. I put another one in to copy and it seemed to hang with the progress bar not moving. Now the first Creedence CD is not showing on the hard drive and when I try another it keeps saying copy in progress, even with no CD in. Anyone have this problem?

 

I havn't tried coping a CD to the HD. I took all my music folders from I-Tunes and put them on a 8gig flash drive and pluged it into the USB drive. Try that if the CD does not work. The USB is very easy, just plug it in and select download from USB. Make sure they are folders though instead of just music files.

Some should chime in about the CD problem.

Good luck!

Well, I think it is okay now. I just let it set for about 30 minutes and started it up again and wallah! Now it works. I just get panicky when stuff is new. Thanks!

 

I had some problems copying CDs to mine but of a different sort. I copied a Linkin Park CD with no problems, then I copied an Audio Slave CD and while it copied all the songs, the song names that show up on the hard drive for that CD are all wrong. I don't know where it got the names from. I haven't tried another CD, so I have one that has the right song names and one that doesn't. Maybe the Audio Slave CD has some type of copy protection.

 

It just copies the names from the CDs, if they're there. I was copying some older CDs over and I just got Track 1, Track 2, etc. That's a pain. So, I copied them to my computer, renamed the files, put them on a USB and went from there.

Btw, you could just plug in an external drive through the usb and power it with the built in outlet to transfer over say 20 gigs at once.

 

That's the odd thing, if I put the CD in the player the names and everything show up correctly. It was only after the copy to the drive that the names were changed. I haven't studied the CD well enough to find out if the names the player is using are coming from somewhere else on the CD. There is probably alternative data on the CD that the copy mechanism is picking up and using.

 

There is no info on the Cd's. The hard drive gets this info via satellite from a company called Gracenote. They can tell what the cd is by the length. Apparently no 2 cd's are exactly the same length (playing time wise).

 

Interesting. I did not know that. Then I am at a loss for what could be going on. Gracenote has the album in question with all the right song titles. If they are going off of playing time maybe it is being cofused with another CD. I'll try what shirtaday says and copy to my pc and then transfer via USB to see if that works. I don't want the whole CD anyway, just a few songs.
