I scanned through the topics and couldn't find this question so please redirect me if this has been answered -

Like another poster, I had 30-40 CDs loaded into my '12 t&c, plus the use of bluetooth streaming over my iphone (but the volume is lacking in that use), so in my attempts to get some movies loaded, I bought myself an additional 256gb stick to load up my music collection so I can keep my phone out of the mix. As i was adding more disks, I used the Apple lossless setting hoping to make the best use of my new speakers. As I gleefully dial up my USB and choose a newly ripped album, it is unable to play the file. Previously converted music works fine and displays artwork. Lossless files are still .m4a but run about 30mb each vs 5-10mb of the standard conversion. Before I undo all the work I did yesterday, does anybody have any thoughts on this, as well as a maximum resolution for the artwork?

Not sure about Apple lossless support, but I will tell you that you should be careful not to put too many songs on that flash drive even though it's a 256GB. The Uconnect system can only index about 1400 songs before it runs out of memory and starts doing weird things.

I ripped a few using the default setting which is still called Apple Lossless but in the details is itunes plus(?) I think, anyway, once I realized I had to manually apply album artwork to get it to stick in the tags, I still have an issue with it listing the file name, and what i assume is the harvested tag for the track name, as separate tracks, so a 10 track album will have 20 tracks. If you click one of the tracks with the file name, it automatically plays whatever the first alphabetical track is further down. I also tried ripping it as mp3 but it does the same thing. I only have a few albums that were ripped several years ago that display normally, some with the artwork. I don't know at what point itunes started generating file names with the track number at the beginning either. Well. So much for that.
