Hey I play most of my music off of a SD card, and I have a few questions.
Are there differences's in SD cards other than just the size? If so what makes for a good card to store music?
Also how do I get the songs on the card with out having different vol for each different song, how do I manage the input levels so that I can keep the same level's when I switch CD's?
Thanks

You need to normalize the volume. A number of apps can do that, including iTunes. Do some googling and I'm sure you'll find it. Keep in mind though that the app will be modifying the file and it *could* hurt the sound quality. So decide in advance what's more important to you, normalized gain or retaining the fidelity.

I have found no issues with volume, seems to be fine as 192kps WMA files. I did find that the H/U would not recognize more than 255 songs in a directory--solution was multiple file folders. My current 8GB card has 6 folders and about 900 songs. I set the unit to random play and it works great.

The only difference aside from size is speed. That won't effect playback but might help you load the files a little quicker. That said I wouldn't spend a bunch extra on that.

I will keep this in mind, I have right at about 250 songs on my card now when I load more I will create more folders, I was going to make folders by type of music anyway.
