Anyone know the maximum size of USB storage?

As per the title, does anyone know what the maximum size USB storage is for the MG5? Tried the dealer and tweeted MG but no answers as yet

I can confirm a 32GB stick works and, based on this:

at least 64GB should work

I was hoping at least 128gb

Yes; we're had 64 work fine.

128G? That's nearly <counts furiously on fingers, stares at wall, shakes head> an awful lot of music!

Nearly enough to drive around Australia

128 Gb (formatted FAT32) works. I just tried a 128Gb stick and at first it said, warning file format not supported, then started playing ???

Not when you're using .flac files...
Does the system even support .Flac? ??

Thanks, I'll order one as I can't find my teeny tiny micro key hmmmmm ?

Would you even hear the difference betwixt .flac and .MP3 recordings on car speakers in a tin box?

 

[Paul Mason]

The system does support FLAC and I can hear the difference

I did some testing on my ZS a while back, it will play at least these audio files:

mp3
m4a
flac
wma
ape
wav
ogg
aac

You have way better hearing than most if you can tell the difference between a 320kbps mp3 file and a flac file through the speakers that MG supply! It might be, of course, that the MG5 has better speakers.

I have industrial deafness at certain frequencies, so even cassette tapes sound ok to me.

That's cool thanks, MG5 has a decent sound system really. If it wasn't on a PCP deal I may have considered upgrading but these will do fine.
To be fair is mostly about me not having time (or redundant storage) to convert files from .Flac to .mp3 every time I want to update the albums

Even it may be nectoposting, but I guess flac need to be encoded as 16 bits, not 24. That can be reason for why some of you faced troubles to play it while others didn't.
I had similar problem in older but more premium sound by BOSE in Renault. flac could be played 16 bits only while mobile phone accept 24 bits as well without any problem.
