Had a quick search with no luck, anyone know if the infotainment system on QQ's can play the above?

Had rather a strange thing happen, I downloaded all my music onto a memory stick and for some reason, as an example, I can only play one track from an album, the rest wont play. On further searching, I have found that many files, for some reason are in Apple 4 Audio and not MP3 so just wondering if this is the reason the fie wont play.

Sorry, can’t help
I have all my Apple music on my iPhone for use in the car.
Additionally, never heard of Apple 4

Is your music downloaded from iTunes? I think that's the proprietary compression format Apple use, but it's also a form of DRM (copy protection). I'm guessing the QQ can't play those files.

If you just copied the downloaded Apple format files onto the usb they won’t play in the unit. (I think they’re m4a file type)
In iTunes you can convert and save a copy into mp3 or wma format and save those to the usb stick which will play fine.

Thanks for the info, to make things worse I found a way to convert all the files to MP3, that is where it went wrong again although it said MP3 it actually converted the files to Mpeg. That wont even load onto a Fat32 thumb drive. I'll keep trying, it's only 1350 tracks, not a great deal, but the so called free converters usually do 50 tracks unless you buy their "professional" suite.

Look on YouTube you can convert them from ITunes.

Doesn't VLC media player do the conversion free
