| Hello group;
I Love my 350, and have a transmiter to play
mp-3's through my car stereo. Is there any way to load playlists ?
Should I load the music in different files on the SD card , or try to
load some music onto the device itself. For now I just use play all.
Thanks
in advance,
Stan

Yes, the Nuvi can handle a standard playlist file, for example,
"mysongs.m3u". Just put it in the same place as your music files. Then
when you hit Browse, you'll see a new selection "Import Playlist". Select
that and then select your playlist.
I would recommend using an SD (or SDHC) card for your music files and
playlists.
Bruce.

Walmart has a couple of them on this page:
http://www.walmart.com/search/searc...ery=vr3&ic=24_0
I've got the cheaper one and it works with MP3 songs on a flash drive, but
there is some hum on the audio that is noticable when the car isn't moving
fast. I haven't tried the audio input jack yet.
I find that some songs sound better than others, for whatever reason.

I don't. Hopefully someone else will jump in here.

| I bought mine for my Nuvi 310 from one of those cheap stuff shops - $9.95
- but any electronics part shop sell them (but usually for much more $$$)

Jay;
I got a Kensington Digital FM Trasmitter #33223. The list price
is about $40, but I got it on sale at Buy.com and I also saved $10 for
using Goggle checkout. It Plugs into the cig-liter and has 4 presets.
You can also tune in manually. Just took a long car trip on
Saturday (300 miles) and it worked great. I have not tried the
playlist yet, just used play all.
Best regards, Stan

And if I remember right, the more music files you have on the SD/SDHC
card the longer it takes the nuvi to start up because reads (or counts,
or catalogs, or something) all the files when it is powered up.

Yes, and the delay can be significant and irritating. I have 750 MP3s on
a4GB SDHC card and it extended the "boot to map draw" time from 20 seconds
by 400% to a full 1 minute 20 seconds.
Since the song catalog runs off of the MP3 tags instead of the filenames,
the Nuvi has to read every single MP3 file at boot time to build its music
lists. The more you have, the longer it takes before the boot is complete.
Bruce.
