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 tha t only contain au
dio/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.

files are automatically displayed with any addi
tional information that is stored (such as the ar
tist, track and album cover).
