My IPOD had MP4 files which will not play on Honda unit so converted them with Itunes to MP3. Copied folder and the MP3 files in it to the card and it plays with NO problems at all. I guess that depending on size the 4Gb card will get about 40 albums on it but remember there is a limit on the Honda unit of 999 tracks.

This did not work straight away, however once I re-formatted the CF card using FAT32 and default allocation size of 32 kilobytes (simple enough under windows 7 - right click CF card/format.) It worked fine. Just wanted to confirm that I too have tried the Transcend adapter and 8GB Transcend CF cards both bought from Amazon as per posts 39 and 40.

I am currently using a Transcend PCMCIA Compact Flash adapter with a Transcend 2GB Compact Flash card. I've ordered a 4GB card as I am more confident that will work now. I think most people having problems with SD cards are using PCMCIA adapters that don't support SDHC cards. I'm adding whatever additional information I find out to my website : http://www.mattsbits.co.uk/item-147.html Excellent article.

Went into Maplins as I wanted to record some music for my brother onto High Speed Compact Flash Card ( I have Transcend but thought I'll have a look at what Maplins have) I could not stop laughing - they wanted £29.99 for 16GB card.
