I am experimenting ATM. Ambient dubstep, witch house and various electronica.

Highlights are burial, blissed out, crim3s, ritualz and high park.

Don't expect anyone else to have heard of these but if they do then that's a bonus!

I've been on an Ozric Tentacles binge for the last month or so. I have a 32Gb memory stick with hundreds of other tracks to choose from but I haven't been able to tear myself away from the Ozrics stuff.

Currently streaming "the Brits album 2013" from my iPhone.
Anyone else found the sound quality from bluetooth is much better than from the CD or radio? :)

I'll get my RCZ end of July, so instead of listening to any music I'm right now in the middle of encoding all of my about 500 CDs into MP3 format and will put them on a 64 GB USB stick.

Just you steady on young man. I have a strong feeling that is not a good idea. Sure that I recall a topic about the size of the USB stick and effectiveness thereof and 64 GB being too big

My dealer told me Peugeot advise a max of 2Gb. I thought that sounded unfeasibly small for a car from the 2nd decade of the 21st century so I ignored the advice and stuck a 32Gb stick in.

Works perfectly in as much as the car happily recognises it and plays everything. But it is a bit of a trawl to look for specific albums. I don't know if that's down to how my music is tagged or a limitation of the audio system though.

So maybe 64Gb will work even if it becomes even harder to use?

The manual for the WIP Nav+ makes NO restriction about the size of the USB-stick, the only limit is 2000 files maximum.

I convert a complete CD to one single file plus my current "Tom's top 200" folder, so I'll be somewhere in the 700 files range, so the scanning times when I plug it in should still be reasonable.

As Steve says, with that amount of albums, artists and tracks, it'll be an absolute nightmare of a chore to navigate through. The sound system is great in many ways but this is a real weakness of it. If I plug in either a 32gb ipod or a 16gb usb then it takes an age to find what I want and is useless when on the move. I'd strongly recommend that you load up a number of smaller usb drives.

I presume you are getting the facelifted model. Why don't you just use an iPod or iPhone? via the USB to play your music? Navigation through tracks, playlists, artists is much easier too.

It's a convenience thing, I just want to plug-in the stick and leave it there all the time. Is the navigation with the WIP Nav+ really THAT bad?

My current car has some kind of scroll-wheel, and when you rotate it fast it starts scrolling page-wise...easy to find everything, even when it's way down the list.

Yeah...I can't imagine it has changed in the face lifted version but it's a one (long slow) scroll no matter how long you are holding down through the folders/albums/artists.

I've got 240 albums (approx 2700 songs) converted to mp3 at 320 kbps which pretty much fills my 32Gb stick. It's not ideal but not too bad to search.

Pressing the top or bottom buttons on the steering wheel control (next/previous track) will page through alphabetically and you can of course press and hold to whizz through then use the scroll wheel to be even more specific.

My main beef is that it doesn't seem to recognise folder structures. It'd be easier if I could scroll to an artist folder, press enter then scroll through their albums. But it reads my memory stick and presents all albums simultaneously even though they're in folders. Maybe it's how I've tagged them when I coveted them to MP3, I dunno. But because it lists them as albums I had to add the artist name to the album title just so it grouped/listed them by artist, but of course now I can't see the full album titles as the screen doesn't scroll across.

Oh and the other thing to be wary of is if you add albums to the stick later they won't show up in alphabetic order when you scroll, they'll be at the very end. Again I don't know if this is something I need to be cleverer at or a specific limitation of the Peugeot Connect Sound system.

Neither are absolute showstoppers but worth bearing in mind.
