What Format is Used for Car Music?

Most cars can recognize MP3 format songs from a USB drive, but MP3 is not the only format. Common music formats for cars: WAV format: A sound format developed by Microsoft long ago, compliant with the PIFF Resource Interchange File Format specification. APE format: APE is a lossless compression format provided by Monkey's Audio. MP3 format: The full name of MP3 format is Moving Picture Experts Group Audio Layer III. WMA format: WMA is the file format encoded by Windows Media Audio, developed by Microsoft, with better sound quality than MP3 and far superior to RA format. AAC format: AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) is a technology provided by Dolby Laboratories for the music community. FLAC format: FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec, which can be interpreted as lossless audio compression encoding in Chinese. Precautions when using a car USB drive: Generally, cars can only recognize music files in MP3 or WMA format, so when downloading music, be sure to pay attention to the file format. If the format is incorrect, it must be converted to MP3 or WMA format. Path: Try to place music files in the root directory of the car USB drive. If placed too deep, the car may not be able to locate the file. Capacity: Some car systems may not support large-capacity USB drives, especially older models. Since the main use of a car USB drive is to store music, the file space occupied is not large, so it is only necessary to choose a suitable USB drive for the car, without deliberately pursuing the maximum capacity.

Actually, current car audio systems support quite a variety of formats. I usually just use a USB drive with MP3 or WAV format songs, and most cars can automatically recognize them when plugged in. Although MP3 offers average sound quality, its small file size allows a single USB drive to store thousands of songs. If you're after better sound quality, FLAC format is a good choice, and it's super convenient to play lossless music from NetEase Cloud Music via Bluetooth connection to the car system. However, be aware that some older cars don't support FLAC—my friend's car couldn't read this format just last month. If you're using CarPlay with your phone, Apple Music's AAC format also delivers decent sound quality, and the best part is you don't need to worry about converting formats. Just use voice commands to select songs while driving—it's the most hassle-free option.

Is it necessary to perform car maintenance after driving for half a year?

It is not mandatory to perform car maintenance after driving for half a year. The necessity mainly depends on the quality of the lubricating oil used and the vehicle's usage conditions. Below is a detailed introduction to car maintenance: Car maintenance cycle: The maintenance cycle for a car is set when the vehicle leaves the factory. Therefore, after a certain number of kilometers, a "small wrench" indicator will appear, reminding the driver to perform maintenance in a timely manner. Typically, the maintenance cycle for a car is every 5,000-8,000 kilometers, and the factory-set cycle is even longer than 8,000 kilometers. After maintenance is completed, the maintenance reminder light needs to be reset following a certain procedure to turn it off. It is also possible that the reminder was not reset during maintenance, and performing the reset again will resolve the issue. Regular maintenance items: Oil maintenance: Oil, also known as lubricating oil, helps reduce engine wear and provides cooling and lubrication effects for the engine. There are three types of oil: Full synthetic oil: should be replaced approximately every 10,000-12,000 kilometers. If the car is not driven frequently, the oil may emulsify and lose its effectiveness, requiring replacement after about a year. Semi-synthetic oil: should be replaced approximately every 8,000-10,000 kilometers. Mineral oil: needs to be replaced approximately every 5,000 kilometers.
