Nice one Geoff. I am having the same issue with a 32gb SanDisk mini USB all loaded via iTunes on a mac. Will try what you suggested on Windows.

Hi Geoff - thanks but the windows solution didn't work. still about 15 secs between music if I sleet a new album. Individual tracks on a single album skip fine.

Paralells on my mac did take over 1 min to delete all the crap off the USB which shows just how much junk there was on there.

Thanks anyway.  405 AB exec seats Baltic and Cirrus

Just a suggestion if you're using a Mac, download "cleanmydrive" from the AppStore and use it to eject your USB.
I used boot camp on my Mac to get to Windows and when I set it to show hidden files in Control Panel I then deleted everything that wasn't either a folder (containing only MP3 files) or actual MP3 files.

I didn't do a reformat but your USB is best as FAT32 - mine was already Geoff

I just had to take my lad to a "house party" (must be something special on tonight).

Took the opportunity to do a few tests on my cleaned USB took a few seconds to initialise but then album/track switching was instant - I only have it set at two levels - one of Stan's suggestions - but I prefer three Artist/Album/Track so will be doing a few tests over the coming days.

FYI - The disk is a Kingston Data Traveler Micro USB 2.0 Flash / Key Drive - 64GB about 16 quid.

Hi Geoff, let me know how you go since I prefer to do multi level as well, Artist/Album/Songs as a minimum plus a few playlists.

Does anyone know what the max capacity of the JLR system is ?? I am looking at going for a 128 GB USB stick as that covers all my music I currently own. MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
Have the Faultmate MSV2 Extreme to be tinkering with the settings etc. !!
