I have owned my A3 for over 3 years and I am embarrassed to say that only today did I try to put music on the jukebox. I thought I'd copy a couple of Adele CDs in order to maintain the great original quality. But when I did I got a message saying "the contents of the medium in the selected optical disk cannot be copied. Please insert a different disk". I assumed that the disk was faulty and tried another - same result. So I then RTFM and discovered that Audi don't let you rip a CD. It says "for legal reasons it is not possible to copy tracks from an audio CD onto the jukebox". Grrr!

I had believed that it was now legal to copy a CD for personal use and I remember the UK government introduced a new law in 2014 whereby it was legal to transfer music into your home library. But unbeknown to me that law was overturned in the High Court in 2015 after a legal challenge from Basca, the Musicians' Union, and industry representatives UK Music.

So dear Audi are right!

Therefore I will then rip the CD to another format and load it onto the jukebox from there. Incidentally can I use a lossless format on the jukebox such as Apple Lossless or FLAC or only lossy types like MP3 etc?

You can enable via the following:

While I have enabled this for people I have never actually used this feature so am not sure of the usage. Had no complaints tho so it must work :)

Had a Tech Pack equipped 8V for 5 years now and not once felt the urge to use the Jukebox :)
