If you put all of your songs on a usb stick formatted FAT32 then it should be recognized. Once you choose the USB stick in Media there is an option for importing on the right hand side bar. |

Once they are imported then you can browse by album under the Music Collection. You can request specific albums, artists, songs, etc. |

You need to have the file in order to move it there. Apple Music can be streamed or downloaded but don't know the details on it.

So far I’m happy with the way it works, so I probably shouldn’t mess with it. The car is perfect. No issues that I can tell. The ONLY thing I’ve had trouble with is connected drive. Which isn’t critical to me. If I can’t get it working I’ll get in touch with Genius at some point. |

However, there are paid tools to remove DRM just for this purpose. You will violate terms and conditions of Apple Music subscription though.

I own a X7 which of course comes with iDrive 7 and like many of you X5-iDrive 7 owners, I've been experiencing periodic iPhone connection issues. I installed the iOS 13 public beta a week ago and have not experienced a single reconnection issue in more than 50 reconnects. It appears iOS is largely to blame for our reconnection failures since iOS 13 appears to have resolved those issues and BMW hasn't changed anything in iDrive.
The official release of iOS 13 is expected in September. |

What are the risks with this beta? Are you using a secondary device? If not, how do you manage the crashes?

I also am not using CarPlay, just Bluetooth or wired connection. But i can’t get anything to download from my phone except contacts. I realize you have to use a flash drive or something similar, and not a phone to do that (why???) and haven’t tried it yet, but I didn’t realize you could actually download iTunes. |

There are several recent videos on YouTube that guide you through process. One recommended "Export for iTunes" app (w/small fee).
I don't think it is required, but it did make the process easy. I downloaded about 70 CD's to iTunes, then transferred entire library to Flash drive, then downloaded to the X5 hard drive. Fast & easy. One thing I appreciate is that I was able to download only those cuts on CD's that I wanted. |

iOS 13 - BEWARE for now...
I am a beta tester and got the link for the newest software, iOS 13 the other day. The software was an OTA update and it looks slick. It is VERY glitchy as of now. The integration into iDrive/CarPlay is very nice and the improvements are much needed. Unless you are willing to sacrifice a stable phone I would hold off for now.

iOS 13 didn’t fix the cc pop up in the charging tray for me. Going back to iOS 12 isn’t as easy as it should be so consider that too if u are thinking about testing it.

I worked on trying to add music to the car’s hard drive today, using SD cards with a card reader I can put in the USB in the car. Formatted it to fat32, no problem. But the largest card I have handy is 32gig, and it says it is full after I upload less than 10 songs. MUSt I use a usb stick? Will an sD card work? Is there any way to get more than a few songs on it? If you think I should start a new thread, let me know. Thanks in advance! |

I'm guessing that your 32 GB memory stick is nearly full before you started copying music to it.

I hope that I could run Google Maps and other apps simultaneously like that. I don't like how Apple optimized the Carplay experience around their own applications (e.g. default Map button opens Apple Maps )

I had not looked at that, but when I decide to struggle with it again I’ll do that. I rarely sit at my computer. It is a desktop, and normally I sit outside with my iPad. My guess is that the mp3 files are simply larger than the iTunes files. I have thousands of downloaded songs on my phone which has a 128gb drive, and they hardly use any space. My iPad only has 32gigs, so it does fill up and I don’t keep a lot of downloaded music on it. I primarily use my phone for music anyway. I did find some very good instructions online for migrating iTunes files in smaller file format to a usb or other storage device, but it was quite the process. Just for sh*ts and giggles, I wanted to see if I COULD put music files on the car hard drive, but it isn’t critical for me. Using Apple and iTunes makes it harder for sure. I could create playlists on amazon music also, and then use the app in the car (I think) but it is a lot of trouble. Siri works great while I’m driving to play specific playlists, and I know I can’t migrate playlists to the car - I’ll have to install the music and then create the playlists again on the car drive. Correct me, I’d love to be wrong about this! This is similar to the way my Bose and Sonos sound systems work - they can play Apple Music files, and store the songs, but not playlists, which take forever to build. |

Here's a screen capture from my machine - a 2 album set ripped at 160 kbps per channel sample rate (higher than iTunes for sure). 313 MB. So by that metric you should be good for ~200 albums on a 32GB memory stick (your mileage may vary). I think there may be something on your USB stick that may not be apparent.
