Essentially, this is what this solution does: it turns a USB into an iPod.

Save your profile transfer name, if you will NOT copy the entire library. If you are transferring everything, just boot up the app. Export the library again or in the app modify what you exported using the profile name you created, and modify. My profile is shown in the steps above as "Bimmerpost demo". It can always add songs, but unlike an iPod this sync does not remove songs. Subsequent amendments to libraries and playlists are easy as only the new songs are transferred to the USB.

Other hidden benefits:

• You can change a playlist name in the USB as you would change a file name in your computer. No app needed. Just look at your file browser / finder / file explorer

• You can add more music to the library without using the app. They won't be in playlists, but will be in your iDrive for album/artist/composer/genre sorts.

• You can change the song order in playlists without the app. Just open the M3U files with a text editor and move the songs around, or delete a song from playlist, and save the file with the text editor you are using.

Matt you're a Star!
