Export in MP3 to SD card

My car has two slots for SD cards with music. The cards must be formatted in FAT32 with songs in MP3 format. If I create a Playlist with auto tunes, how would I export this in MP3? I figure I can get them on an SD using some sort of reader. I've gone thru iTunes and just can't find a command to export

MacPro, Mac OS X (10.5.5)

Razzman,

I have a similar setup. You can drag and drop files directly from the iTunes Library main window to the SD Card as it shows in the Finder.

In my setup i have an SD card named 'PODCASTS'. I just drag and drop songs from iTunes Library Window to the SD Card icon in the Finder, and it copies them onto the card.

Just size the main iTunes window so you can see your SD card on the desktop to the right. You can drag and drop things from iTunes right onto the SD icon in the Finder.

Fat32 has a limited number of files it can take at the top level directory, so you might want to create folders on the card and put the songs in there. I can get hundreds more songs on an SD card that way, and my Sony car stereo treats the folders as 'Albums'.

Good luck!

I wouldn't have thought it to be that easy. One more question. The instructions call for a 256MB card. I can't quite tell from the instructions is that is the largest card that will work, or whether it was about the largest available at the time of writing the manual. Does your system have a card memory limit? One main reason, I don't know where I would even find a card that small today. These are all in the gig range.

Well, you haven't said what device you are using the SD card with. Big SD cards are no problem for your Mac (or PC), although if you use SD-HC cards, you'll need a card reader that specifically states SD-HC compatibility. So you are really only limited by whatever product you are transferring the SD cards into.
