How to organize .mp3 files on SD Card to have MyLink categorize them correctly (i.e. Audiobooks and Podcasts)

Hi folks,

 

 

 

I have a 64 GB SDCard in my 2014 Silverado and I love having music, audiobooks and pocasts on this - especially for long road trips.  I have edited the ID3 tags of the .mp3s for Audiobooks and Podcasts to show "Audiobook" and "Podcast" respectively for the "Genre" field.  When I go to browse, they still don't show up under the Podcast or Audiobook categories (bottom of list under composer, artist, genre, etc).

 

 

 

While I'm able to get "Audiobook" and "Podcast" to show up as a genre when browsing Genre, I'd like the audiobooks to show up under the audiobook category and podcasts to show up under podcasts.

 

 

 

Does anyone know how to do this?  If anyone is unsure what I mean, I'll try to upload a picture later of the "categories" of which I refer.

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks!

I wasn't aware you could put an SD card in these trucks. Where's the input?

Wow I'll have to check this out. That's good info. Are all the files in one folder on the SD card?

they either stopped in 14 or 15 with the SD card slot in the console.

I have a 2014 with the SD card slot, and I have never been able to figure out the file structure it uses and how the player actually sorts. And I am a fairly competent computer geek.

 

When my truck was new I called some GM department that supposedly had the support for this system, but they knew less about it than I did. And the manual is worthless. I finally gave up and just throw all the mp3's into the root folder and let it sort things the way it wants to. I'm sure at one time there was a Chinese engineer who designed this system and knew all about it, but apparently no one else does.

I'm just starting to mess with mine and I switched from a SD card to a USB Stick, seems to be more accepting of the USB. I'm messing with file structure now. I'll let you know if I come up with anything.

      2026 DENALI 6.2L

      By pyoung62 · Posted

      I agree with Tim.  As tech heavy as engines are these days, no way I’d be an early buyer of the new 6.6.  Of course, I bought my ‘26 Denali w/the 6.2 after dumping my Tundra with it’s defective 3.5 liter imploding engine disaster, so I’m a little gun-shy.  That said, my 6.2 has been rock solid.  I don’t drive it like I do my BMW Z4 M40i, but I don’t baby it either.  I got a V8 for a reason.  But I’m averaging 18 around town and 22 highway.  I have seen 24 highway as well when I wasn’t loaded up heavy.  Considering my Tundra with the twin turbo V6 only got 14.5 in town and 17 on the road, I’ll take the 6.2 all day, every day.  If I were you, I’d grab a ‘26 while you can.  Inventories are probably gonna start dropping and I’ll bet the deals will start looking sweeter as well.

      Can you add a 360° Cameras hard button to a 2021 Sierra?

      By ShowMeShooter1332 · Posted

      I am curious if anyone has figured out a way to add an hard button AUX or 360 Camera switch to the center row of switches. I have a 2021 AT4, and want to split the hill decent button and add a 360 camera button so that you don't have to go into the center display and locate the camera functionality, etc...   My father's 2024 Yukon XL AT4 and it has a hard button, see below. I found this thread on the Yukons, but it seems like there may not be a part number for the 2021 sierras. https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/255339-adding-hard-button-for-camera-on-2021/ Anyone else figured this out. Seems like it would need to be a custom switch!   I am getting ready to install the auto stop/start eliminator, so would be nice to knock them out at once.     Upvote1Downvote0Go to comments

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Through the years it hasn't been my typical method as I tried to drop oil on an engine that was hot from having been worked, however that was not always practical and had to fire up a unit and let it warm up reasonably well and drop the oil when I had the time to do it but am referring to not only vehicles but a variety of farm equipment and highway tractors etc. However on a vehicle where one is crawling under it and the exhaust is nearby to ones body and if wanting to pull the plug without danger of being hit with boiling hot oil or attempting to remove a HOT oil filter, its sure safer and easier to not have everything smoking hot and can remove the filter right away when under the vehicle and let it all drain. Of course its not the end of the world if a bit of oil stays in the engine that might have eventually found its way out, I like to get out as much as possible but any oil changes that take place in shops would rarely be sitting around for very long at all before the plug is thrown back in and filter slapped on and oil poured in and sent out the door quick like. There would be very little time spent ( assuming they even did it ) in starting the engine with oil to fill the filter, then waiting to verify the level on the stick. A good reason to check ones oil level shortly after a shop changed the oil on a vehicle just to make sure its correct and to look under for any oil around the drain plug or filter.
