Posted: Thu Aug 14, 2008 2:10 am Post subject: Directing the tomtom to play music from the SD card |
|
|
Hello this is my first post
I have just upgraded from the Go 910 to the Go 930T, and downgraded from the rather salubrious 20GB hardrive to a meager 4GB internal drive + 4GB SD card. With all the maps installed on the internal drive, it left me with around 70 tracks worth of mp3's installable on the internal drive.
I backed-up and removed the North American map as this is not required, which has released 1.5GB. The 910 did spoil me somewhat with its capacity, has I had around 800 tracks of music and dozens of photos.
Having loaded some music to the SD card, there seems to be noway of directing the TomTom Jukebox to read from the card.
I don't see a way of accessing the SD card via the TomTom unit itself, the drives are selectable in the Home software and obviously via the explorer.
It obviously needs something in the root directory or the MP3 folder to direct it to the SD card.
I searched the forum for an answer.. as I am sure this is not the first time this question has been asked, my apologies if this question is a repeat...
Thanks, Jeff |

On the sd card, you put the mp3 files in a folder called 'mp3'. All lower case, no quotes.
Your model (x30) will find them. |

Hi and welcome.
I believe the mp3s have to be in a folder called mp3 (all lower case) on the SD Card. Have you done that? |
