How long does it take to search for songs on a memory card?
find answers

Search time depends on the size of the memory card, how many songs it holds, and how much information each song has. Searching a card can take anywhere from 15 seconds to 5 minutes. Why can't I see all songs I saved to my memory card? You can save up to 50 files in each folder that you create. A file name (including the path) must be less than 255 characters. For example, if you copy songs into a folder you create that is named MyMotoSongs, the name of any song PLUS the name of the folder MyMotoSongs must be less than 255 characters. Song names that are longer than 255 characters will be shortened automatically when you copy them to your memory card. Why are my songs listed in a different order than they are on the CD they came from? If songs dont include track numbers before track names, they are listed in alphabetical order by track name. To make sure songs are listed in the expected order: Make sure that track names are preceded by track numbers. 15

find answers
Make sure the application you use to rip CDs is set to create file names that begin with the track number plus the track name when ripping a CD. Why doesnt my PC recognise the phones removable memory card, even though the card was formatted by the phone? Your PC may be unable to recognise a removable memory card that was formatted by the phone. When the PC prompts: Do you want to reformat? Click Yes to continue. Be aware that formatting the memory card erases all content on the card. Where can I find more answers to my questions? If you have questions or need assistance, we're here to help.
