Question 8

Why do the song names not display during USB playback on the KD-TD72BT?

Accepted Answer

The JVC KD-TD72BT radio supports playback of USB audio files (MP3, WMA, AAC, WAV, FLAC) from mass storage devices. However, the display of song names depends on several factors:

ID3 Tag Format: Ensure that your MP3 and other files contain valid ID3 tags with title and artist information. Some audio files without metadata may not display the song name.
Character Encoding: If your files use accented characters or non-Latin alphabets, the radio may not display them correctly depending on the firmware version.
USB File System: Use a USB drive formatted in FAT32 or exFAT. Some proprietary file systems may not be fully compatible.
Folder Depth Limit: Organize your files in a shallow folder structure. A too complex hierarchy may limit the display of metadata.
Manufacturer Limitations: The PDF of this manual does not specify the maximum size of supported metadata tags. In general, limit file names and tags to less than 127 characters to avoid compatibility issues.

If after checking the song names still do not display, try with another USB drive containing standard audio files to verify that it is not an issue related to your device or your files.
