Have anyone with MCU1 experience lagging with everything that you can function on the screen? Even lags when I disengage AP which I would think is a big problem. If I turn AP off it shouldn't take .5-6secs. Yes when I put my foot on the brake it took up to 6 secs. to disengage. Not acceptable.

To clarify, "MP4" is not an audio format. It is a container format, which means it is a specification for a file that can contain audio and/or video of a variety of formats. Saying you had music that was "MP4" doesn't indicate the format of the audio inside it. An MP4 could contain MP3 audio, or AAC audio, or a variety of other formats. A typical consumer format is AAC audio inside an MP4 container.

You are of course correct (and I work in the industry so I should have use correct terms, but instead used the vernacular based on file extensions people have used). To be clear, I switched to using MPEG-1 Layer 3 Audio Codec (often called MP3) instead of AAC (Advanced Audio Codec). It didn't eliminate Loading Errors, but it did seem to reduce them. I'm using the same USB drive in my new MCU2 car and haven't seen any issues, but it's too early to say for sure.
I have MCU1 and LTE and have stutter with Spotify in my TMS100D AP2.5.
I just had a loaner car TMS90D with MCU1 and 3G and AP1 for one week.
No matter what settings I use, I have not experienced stutter at all - even with same settings as in my own car - except for one important thing - I am not using my Premium Spotify account in the loaner car..
I am wondering if the explanation for the stutter is
1) higher bitrate with Premium account
2) higher bitrate with LTE
3) to much CPU or RAM usage with AP2.5
Combined with slow CPU
Does anyone know, whether Spotify in a Tesla, gets better bitrate with Premium account?
Interesting theory about the higher bitrate. I have premium Slacker and set it for the higher quality. I'll try lowering it to see if it helps.
Would you consider logging into your premium account in the loaner?
Yep AP. Tesla came out and looked and dont know why yet. I'm suppose to bug report every time it does it now.
I am now logged in with my Premium Spotify account, on the loaner car, and not a single stutter.
Only differences between my own car and the loaner should be AP2.5 vs AP1 and 4G vs 3G.
Unless its the 4G modem that has a faulty driver or provides higher Spotify bitrate, unfortunately we are back to blaming advanced AP features, including dashcam. Only I have not seen any difference with or without dashcam activated in my car..
Does anyone have MCU1 with AP1 AND upgraded to LTE and experience Spotify stutter?

Hi everyone
I’ve had this issue as mentioned previously since November 2018, today I got 28.3 update and I’ve done 200 miles and it didn’t stutter once!!!
I think tesla have finally fixed and Spotify is working perfectly!
I also found the dancing/spinning cars on screen issue is also fixed.

Got it couple nights ago. Didn’t even realize it, but now that I think about it, it hasn’t stuttered at all. I’ll leave the music app open tomorrow and see if it does it that way for me. That will be my real test.
I can confirm that 28.3 and later *actually* attempt to improve this. The increased the priority of the audio and maps routing server processes by reducing the nice level from 0, which most things on the system run at to -5 and -10 respectively:
Still very clear that the MCU1 system is underpowered for the v9 code they're trying to run on it, but at least the audio stuff seems to work much better now. I haven't had any stuttering since updating so far.

Let's play jeopardy
Thanks for listing what needs to be bumped in priority! I used the renice command to reprioritize on 20.4.2
Doh! Forgot that changes don't persist after reboot and the pid change on every boot.

Add a script that runs on reboot, and do something like this:
Code:
renice -5 -p $(pidof SpotifyServer)
