We received this mail from Neil: I purchased your software back in February when I bought my Alfa and I honestly don't know what I would have done without it. For such a great program, that works so well and for you to only charge 5 Euro it has been invaluable to my Alfa ownership. Every time I have forgotten to run your program after adding a few tracks to my stick, the Blue & me just ignores them half of the time and the thought of amending every single ID tag sends doesn't bear thinking about. So, thanks again for such a great program!!!.....Full kudos to you sir! regards Neil Hundreds of happy users from Austria, Australia, Brazil, Belgium, Ireland, the Netherlands, Greece, Sweden, Germany, Italy.... |
My Fiat 500 has "Blue&Me", an onboard computer that does things like connecting your Bluetooth phone and playing music from a USB stick. The same unit is used in several other Fiat and Alfa Romeo models. It works great !
That is, most of the time it works great. Not all MP3 files play directly and the car display shows only a limited character set. Also when you download from the internet a lot of extra bytes, like album covers, song lyrics and such are copied as well.
If you use a USB drive with a hundred titles, chances are that half of them will never get played because the Blue&Me system doesn't recognize them and room for another twenty songs may be added.
This is what BLUMEUSB6 does !
It is an MP3 optimizer especially for Blu & Me. To be technical, it converts ID3v2 tags and APE tags to the ID3v1 standard that the Blue&Me system can read.
- Version 6 has support for English, Italian, German, French and Dutch users.
- It also puts the track number in the title, so that music from one album plays sequentially
- The "rename" option sorts all mp3 files in music/artist/album/directories
and new in v6.0: you can check your USB drive for errors or format the drive directly from the "tool" menu.
Only use BluMeUSB on USB sticks that contain Music files and EcoDrive information for use in your car. If you use the "delete files" option all files other than these will be deleted. (This is a feature not a bug !)
