RT4 software question

[Bandit12]

hi guys
I've fitted a USB to my RT4, burnt all my music to media player then put it all onto a USB stick. Only issue is that some of the music wont play as its a wma file instead of MP3. Is there a software update or setting for the RT4 that will overcome this? Alternative is to work out which albums are wma then re-rip etc.

Any advice is appreciated

When I use Windows Media Player to rip my CDs I have set it to the highest quality, and to MP3 format. I can then (for my van) copy the files to a USB stick and it handles them without any issues.

The RT4 will only play mp3 as far as I'm aware, you can either re-rip the CD's in mp3 format or use iTunes to convert to mp3.

That's correct, the RT4 doesn't support WMA files.

Thanks for that guys, was hoping for a simple fix and really unsure why some files are in different formats. No worries tho and I'll go through my music re ripping into MP3

Some of the later units also support the Windows Media Audio format but not the RT4. I was going to suggest a converter, but to be honest it will be just as quick to rip again where you can choose your bit rate etc.

All sorted! I spent an entertaining afternoon re ripping my many cds n then syncing onto a flash drive. Works a treat. Many thanks

I don’t think so! The pictures in that listing show an NG4 Navidrive 3D not an RT4 - another eBay fail where the seller doesn’t know the difference

To be fair, the pictured disks appear to be RT4/RT5

Caution needs to be exercised though, as invariably these will not be original discs, but copies and the risk of bricking a unit increases significantly, potentially costing £000s to repair.
