What car deck to get?

Trying to get portable Hard Drive to work with USB car deck?

• ok so i have a sony xplod CDX-GT540UI car deck with USB plug in, and i have A LOT of music (about 50Gbs) that i want to have in my car, i got a seagate 250GB portable hard drive that i formatted to FAT32 with Partition Magic and uploaded all my music to it and when i plug it in it works nicely --- BUT --- and heres the problem, it doesnt show all the music thats on it, i read on the instructions for the deck that it can have a total of 128 folders and 500 songs per folder. i have my music organized in folders per artist and i have 171 folders in total, theres no way that i could condense it any more without like putting 2 artists in the same folder which is out of the question because then it'll be impossible to find things. i read on a forum that someone had partitioned their harddrive into 4 different primary partitions and had his artist folders spread over the 4 partitions, i tried splitting my HD to 2 partitions and split the music in half over each partition but when i plug in the HD to the car deck it says "NO MUSIC" I assume because its trying to show as 2 different drives as it would on a computer and it doesnt know what to do so does anyone know of a way to have all my music show despite the limitation of only the 128 folder cap?

• Answer:

  Maybe just make an "A" "B" "C" folder. Or get an ipod/ipod deck.
