I am not sure formatting will work. I believe the software component regarding mp3 player functionality is not robust enough and consumes much of the resources and crashes occasionally, but I am not sure about that. Slowdown of iDrive response during mp3 play makes this hypothesis stronger.

A software release will fix this issue occasionally, but I don't know when this will happen. Furthermore, I believe mp3 functionality (sorting of files, display of ID3 options, display of album art, etc.) has huge shortcomings, which also needs to be improved.
