    I have been using a USB stick to store my songs for my UBL Green Edge E7039 Navigation/dvd player. I have noticed that I can get the player to recognize up to 255 songs. My library is much larger than that. Has anyone placed more than 255 songs on a DVD or CD and have them show up to play?

    my understanding is you need to make separate folders. max is 255 per folder. I am putting all my music on a USB drive and a folder for each artist and my player currently recognizes 715 songs.

    GREEN BAE is correct. I have about 30 GB of songs (many thousands), and have to taker the time to organize it into many folders, each no more than 255 individual songs. Kind of a pain.

    The Uconnect in my Chrysler is a way better system, save for ONE feature: it cannot call one song by title or artist from the USB with a voice command. That's one of the few bright spots of Entune.

    Pretty simple if you use a program like mp3tag as it can easily folderize your collection. i generally keep my mp3's organized in folders anyways. mainly genre/artist/album/ so there's never more than an albums worth of mp3's in a given folder. mp3tag can automatically do this for you

    Changed your title to "MP3 CD" rather than "navigation CD" since you're talking about music :)

    Media monkey works well for automatic separate folders and tagging for album art. I've started downloading my Amazon prime music and using that without streaming, but once again that means no album art. I just like to utilize that nice full color display.
