MTP File Information

After you connect the MTP device, the stereo downloads the full list of song names from the device and creates a song title index. This process must be completed before music playback can begin. For devices with large music collections, this may take several minutes. The song count appears during this process. You can use other sources while this process is underway.

For best results, the music folders on an MTP device should not contain more than 300 files each. Exceeding 300 files per folder can cause the MTP device to become unresponsive and reset the connection to the device.

Music files must be located in a folder using one of these names. The folder must be located in the root directory of the MTP device.

  • My_Music

  • mobile

  • Music

These guidelines also apply to memory cards installed in the MTP device.
