Media
Introduction
There are various media drives and connections
available in the MM!. You can play, for example,
audio/video files from the Jukebox* or connect
your mobile device to the Audi music interface*
and operate it through the MM!.
Notes
General information
Media and format restrictions: the MMI (includ
ing the SD card reader and th e USB storage de
vice
connecti on*) was tested w it h a variety of
products and media on the market. However,
there may be cases where individual devices or
media and audio/video* files may not be recog
n ized,
may play only with restrictions or may not
play at all.
Digital Rights Management: please note that
the audio/video* files are subject to copyright
protection.
The
media drives do not play files that are pro
tected by ORM and that are identified with the
symbol~.
Data security: never store important data on SD
cards, the Jukebox*, CDs/DVDs or mobile devices.
Audi
AG is not responsible for damaged or lost
files and media.
Loading times: the more files/folders/playlists
that are on a storage medium, the longer it will
take to load the audio/video files*. Audi recom
mends using storage media that only contain au
d io/video files*. To decrease the time it takes to
load audio/video files*, create subfolders (for ex
ample, for the artist or album). The loading time
will also increase when importing files.
Additional information: when playing, audio
files are automatically displayed with any addi
tional information that is stored (such as the ar
tist, track and album cover). If this information is
not available on the storage medium, the MMI
will check
the Gracenote metadata database .
