File Formats Supported in 2017 MDX ELS Audio System
Hello All,
Greetings.
I have been following the forum while doing my research before buying the car, but just joined recently.
I bought a 2017 MDX Elite and am facing issues with playing FLAC/WAV files from USB flash drive.
Tried formatting the 32GB drive in FAT32 with 32KB,16KB,8KB & 4KB cluster sizes and copied FLAC/WAV files in the root directory, in sub-directories etc and the system will not recognize any FLAC/WAV files.
To make sure it is reading the drive, I always copied an mp3 file and it was played without issues.
The owner's manual just mentions mp3, wma & aac formats in the USB playback section.
All the FLAC/WAV files are 44.1KHz 16 bit files and not higher bit rate or sampling rate.
Its a bit puzzling as audio CDs are working, but I cannot play WAV files from an USB drive.
Is it a known limitation? Or do I need to follow any particular format/cluster size or folder structure to make it work?
Thanks
