I have the last addition fl2 2013
And it says in the owners manual I can download cd
But I can't see a download icon when the cd is put in.
Is this a function for higher spec cars ?
Mine is a sd4 xs

Yes

Ok worked it out. Didn't realise you had to go to the saved cd
Thought it would give you the option to upload as soon as the cd was put in
Cheers

haha just beat me to it, that's correct  MY15

is it me or does it taken an amazingly long time to copy the CD to the HDD?

Ripping a CD on my computer takes a few minutes, but on the Freely it seemed to take 10+

takes a while definiately, took about 15 minutes for a 22 track CD to rip to mine so just started it at the beginning of a drive into town.

Yep takes forever to download. I just use the iPod and its a lot easier, well for me thst is. MY13 HSE LUX Aintree Green

Agreed
Although I liked the idea of downloading the practicality of it is dog poo
The usb stick option will be fine for me now

Yes, does take a while but its also available for viewing DVD's so as I'm installing Rear Media front/back or both will have a dvd library available directly from the HDD. MY15

so you can put DVD into the HDD as well as music ? mmm might have to do that
(although ive just got rid of about 150 DVD as I no longer have a DVD or Blu Ray player in the house )

on the subject of playing music from USB, I have a USB stick in with a few thousand tracks on.
Do the tracks all have to be individual files or can they be in album folders?
Quite a few of the tracks refuse to play (invalid format warning) although all the tracks are MP3 ripped in the same way. Is there a trick to get round unrecognised tracks ?

Yes you can play DVD's and also store them on the HDD to watch later from the movie library. You can also do this from USB but needs to be in DivX format.
Refer to owners manual Rob, there is a whole section on formats and listening to music files on USB. MY15
