    Hello

    I own a kenwood KDC-414 Headunit for over a year.
    I've enjoyed this piece a lot with a 4GB USB-Stick.
    Last week i've bought a 16GB USB-Stick and copied my, almost, intire music collection on it. There's about 100mb left.

    As I plug it in my car, only 60% of my songs will show up.
    So I did some research and came to find out that only in 1 folder or playlist there's a max. capacity of 999 songs.

    So I divided the larger folders into smaller folders with max 999 songs.

    But still, i only get to play a few songs in that folder even though there are more than that.

    Anyone can help me? It seems to me, the kdc-414 can only play max 10gb :/

    I found out why this happened.

    USB criteria according to Kenwood:

    Maximum number of folder layers 8
    Maximum number of folders (per device) 254
    Maximum number of files (per folder) 255
    Maximum number of files (per device) 64770
    Maximum number of files per playlist 7000

    Hope this can help somebody!
