Data security: never store important information
on mobile devices. Audi is not responsible for
damaged or lost files and media.
Loading times: the more files/folders/playlists
there are on a storage medium, the longer it will
take to load. To reduce the amount of time it
takes the audio/video files to load, use a storage

files are automatically displayed with any addi-
tional information that is stored (such as the ar-
tist, track and album cover). If this information is
