Desertdude1 Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 Can the MySync system play iTunes AAC files or only MP3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 It can play AACs but only from the iPod or iPhone or iPad. You have to convert them to mp3s to play them off a USB drive and they can't be protected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desertdude1 Posted November 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 That's exactly what I needed to know. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 ITunes Export works for me. It's a freeware program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyinlow007 Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 The mylink system in my Camaro will play AAC files on a USB drive, surprised the Ford system doesn't. Will have to try this when I get home tonight as I have a bunch of USB sticks with AAC files on them. Does it matter which audio system you have? I have the Sony, Mytouch and Sync.

akirby Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 Looks like I spoke too soon - MFT does recognize AAC files but it will only play them from a USB drive if they're unprotected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desertdude1 Posted November 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 I already bought an app for $2.99 that converts AAC files to MP3. I'll try AAC first, if it doesn't work I'll convert them to MP3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyinlow007 Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 iTunes removed protection starting in January of 2009, if you look at your files format, if it ends in .m4a its an unprotected AAC file. If it ends in .m4p, its a protected file and it won't play those. I viewed my purchased songs and sorted by order added and songs bought through the end of 2008 are protected, then starting in 2009 they are unprotected. An unprotected file will play in the Edge through a USB stick, just tried mine. Most of my almost 13,000 songs came from my cd's which I ripped into iTunes as mp3 files, so no issues playing those. That project took me a year to do, but it was worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinzII Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 I ripped most of my songs to MP3 (192 kb). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
