My disappointment is that the F30 playback is not gapless (as should be the case with lossless formats). The abilty to achieve gapless playback was my main reason for trying out a lossless format (as opposed to sound quality).

I have Lossless WMA files that BMW sees, but does not play. It skips them. Media rights are not set for them. They do have a bit rate of >1 Mbps. Other lossless WMA files play fine. All were ripped from CD in WMP.
In the printed F30 Navigation/Entertainment manual (p. 51, top/right), BMW states that playback cannot be guaranteed for bit rates >256 kbit/s. This sux BIG TIME if I have to batch transcode my files to 256 kbit/s!!!
