Would it be possible for someone who is driving a MS and using a flash drive and has a Mac for music to take a screen shot of what the format looks like when you download your music from the flash drive to the touch screen. Maybe someone can help me with getting my music into the MS. Do not have the car yet but trying to have some music ready when I do get it. I took some of my CD's and ripped them into iTunes. When I plug in my flash drive it comes up on my desktop, I tried to export my library to the flash drive but when I access the music it comes up in a spreadsheet and there is nothing you can do with it. Then I tried to drag the albums to the flash drive and that seem to work. But obviously cannot see the format that would show up in the MS. I know there are many of you out there that are very IT savvy, so if anyone could help it would be appreciated.

Has anyone used a 128GB USB flash drive successfully? I have a Kingston G2 and it's being ignored completely when I insert it. 64GB works for me (same brand and product line), but not 128GB.

Thanks Al, I guess I will have to get the car to see if it works.
You DO need the actual CD's as I'm pretty sure it can't "upgrade" a format from iTunes.
Can MAX convert ALAC on my Mac to FLAC straight on the USB thumb drive?
Ok, you guys have lost me. I hate to seems so clueless, but please explain the Max conversion from ALAC to FLAC. In my previous thread I mentioned ripping my CD's into iTunes then dragging them to the flash drive. I have lossless set up. (Al, I cannot seem to do this even right side up).
I haven't tried an SSD, but I am happily using a 1TB portable USB hard drive (platter) containing FLAC files. As long as you format the drive using FAT32 it should work. Most platters come with NTFS so you need to reformat them before using in the Model S. I have found no issues with car motion disturbing the disk drive and this option gives you a lot of space for relatively little cost ($70). The Model S can catalog the drive quickly and allows you to search a huge collection very easily. Just a shame it doesn't support the shuffle function.has anyone tried an ssd drive, say 256GB, in a usb enclosure? is there a possibility this will work, or is there a linux/tm file system limitation happening here? i tried a western digital passport drive (platter), won't work. i'd like to get more music than the thumb drives will hold in the s. so, ssd, anyone? i have a few lying around and thought i could just throw one in an enclosure and try that.
also, my library is apple lossless. has been for years. ain't gonna change now. i can't see why tm won't support alac, unless apple charges a ton for licensing which would be stupid on their part, but i don't know.. i do know my transporter/slim devices server (now logitech) serves up alac just fine. i did try mass converting a chunk of my lib to flac to test but haven't found a combo that works yet. loathe to buy a big thumb drive when i have so many ssd's here already. my library is probably 300GBs, would be great to have it all....
thanks for thoughts.

huh. i tried this with a passport drive, 1TB, and it didn't mount. what brand are you using if i might ask?
Sure can. That's how I did it. It will even delete the mp3a for you on the thumb drive.
That's good to know.
Is "Apple Mpeg-4 audio" the same as ALAC? I'm guessing no. In which case I'll be inserting a lot of CD's.
I think it can be both ALAC and AAC.
Apple Lossless
you can do 'get info' and summary in iTunes and it tells you there. Also, look at file size. ~5-10MB for a normal length AAC song and probably 20MB+ for a ALAC song.
