What format are the songs in?
And have you used anything to write the id3 tag?

wma
no idea what id3 tag is but in my computer everything is fine

[Nemo Aeternamn]

I'm not sure on this...
But it might be that they are wma format... If you convert them to mp3... You shouldn't have a problem... That's all I deal with and have never had a problem

im pritty sure they use to be in wma and worked fine. but if in mp3 format they will sound like crap in my truck. they play fine in wma but ill try it.

[Nemo Aeternamn]

alright...
well... try this before you start converting over... google
wma id3tag
and see if editing the id3 tag helps...

post script i'm trying to look a bit further into this one... trying to see about compatibility issues because of the wma is a windows format..
but here's maybe a few other formats to try to help prevent loss of audio quality that comes with the compression...

yep mp3 convert to 320kbps works

[Nemo Aeternamn]

that's good...
something else you can do to help the quality issue... is get an equalizer on your phone... and on the deck in my car... it actually has a setting to help restore quality to mp3's...

I have PowerAMP with a EQ. maby at 320 it will be ok. 192 sounds like crap. Thanks for your help

320kbps for music is perfect. Just listen to a 196 then 320. Huge difference.
