Title: Formats on iPod sync
Post by: MikeO on November 16, 2013, 05:22:41 am

Hi

My new car radio seems not to like some formats when it uses an iPod as a source, I suspect its doesn't like MP3 (Honda CRV std Radio ??)

When I sync my iPod , what format does it transfer to the iPod

My library is a mix of FLAC, MP3 and a limited number of iTunes original rips. I believe FLAC will be converted to 128 bps , but is that as MP3 or Apple format

Any Ideas ?

Mike

Have a look at Tools\Options\Handheld\Conversion to see what is being converted to what.

Sorry for the delay !

Its set up as MP3 Normal quality which I assume will drop it all to 128 bps

If I am right , and my radio doesn't like MP3 , is there a way of converting MP3 or FLAC to Apple M4A via media centre , I suspect not or is back to iTunes ?

It would be surprising to find a device that won't play MP3 now.  It might not play VBR MP3 or very high bitrates.  But try 128 constant bitrate (CBR)
