Seems like this issue has been going on for years with no fix. Read all the threads, boards, have submitted multiple feedback to Apple, nada. I'm using my iPhone to play music currently, which is a hack fix at best. This has to be an iTunes error, something with the way it scans files for gapless info. The AAC files are created with truncated lengths - the same as where the songs stop playback. These same tracks will play on an iPhone 6, or in quicktime - so it's not an issue with the mp3 files themselves.Īs a workaround, I decided to convert to AAC using iTunes. When playing these songs in iTunes, playback randomly stops anywhere from halfway through to 10 seconds before the end. When starting iTunes, (12.1.2), checks for gapless playback info on all all songs every time. Imported several mp3 albums into my iTunes library. Really bummed this simple function seems like something i shouldn't do, for fear of screwing up the cars computer.I am having the same problem. I'm flummoxed that this could lock up and / or crash the 3's system. Then everything works perfect, until the next time i put the USB in. i remove the usb drive, and have to reset the screen. i go to put in in reverse, the R does not come up, the camera does not come on, but it does move in reverse, same with D, essentially the screen is locked up. after leaving the car, and coming back to it, the next morning. So i thought all was good, here's the weird thing that has happened 3 times, and i've given up, but thought i'd ask here to see if someone has any suggestions, etc. it took the 3 about 2 minutes or less to index it all, and i could play anything from it. Can use the phone and bluetooth, but also wanted to have a few USB drives so i could have lots of my music at my fingertips. in the last week have finally had time to figure out how i'm going to do music. I haven't when you switch across the MP3 files.įirst time writing here, and i've got a puzzling question. I've seen the errors when I've switched from an MP3 album to an M4A album (for example). It'll read MP3, M4A, FLAC, and some others I think. My hypothesis is that it there is a bug (or set of bugs) when changing file types. The albums will be right the artists may not be if the album is a compilation. Put it in your car, touch USB, wait until it loads, and start playing and changing songs. Unmount the stick from your Mac and remove. On the USB stick, create new folders per album and drag the files into the appropriate folder. This is the only way I could figure out how to fake out the sort logic in the car. Set the Artist and Album to the same thing on every track, even if they're different artist. Once that window pops up, open Picard and drag all the new files into that app. I did one album at a time.Ĭlick on the spyglass next to one to find the directory with the converted files (it's buried somewhere) Launch MediaHuman Audio Converter and add the songs you want on the USB stick. USB drive formatted as FAT32 (get a good one from Sandisk or Samsung or someone you've heard of) MediaHuman Audio Converter - converts everything to MP3 - this is KEY to avoid the loading errors MusicBrainz-Picard - this is to edit the metadata tags (album, genre, etc.) - necessary to overcome some weird sorting logic in the media player app Suffice to say, this annoyed the **** out of me. I'm an IT guy with a music habit and a penchant for solving problems. I have ~300 songs from a variety of artists and albums in both MP3 and M4A. It also has weird sort logic that can be fixed with consistent Album and Artist tags. You need to convert everything into one format (I chose 320K MP3). TL DR - The car doesn't like changing audio formats. Although I have a 2013 Model S and not a Model 3, I suspect we're having the same issues.
