for part of my problem with my Nav system radio. I have mentioned before about my frustration with the radio when I listen to long Podcast that I have put on my HD. Some of my podcasts are 2 hours long, Leo Leporte for one. It takes one minute of holding the button down for ten minutes of fast forwarding and if you have listened to 70 minutes of the dang podcast and the wrong button you have to hold the button down for 7 minutes to get back to where you were. PITA!! for sure!
What I just did was put the podcast into a Audio editing program, I used AVS. I then broke it into four parts of a half hour each, I might do it into 10 minute sections but just wanted to try it out. I then save it in the four files which the program labeled for me and put them on a thumb drive, which I loaded on the Nav radio. It loaded the as Unknown but I did a search on the hard drive under unknown and they were all there in sequence. That will work.
BUT, it does not change the fact that the engineers dropped the ball on this one and ought to fix it. Where can we complain? Does GM have a place on the web for these suggestions?
I also now have to figure out how to get the files to be listed under Leo Leporte in the Artists section. I have tried loading them separately and also put them in a Leo Leporte folder on the thumb drive and they still go under Unknown. Sorta goofy.
I just though this infromation might help others that listen to podcasts.
