It's not a perfect solution but, when I get a wild hair to listen to a particular song that comes to mind, it's right there. If there are other Zumo owners (or potential Zumo owners) out there who have the same dissatisfaction I had with the imposed song limit, I hope that you will help spread the word that all is not lost.

Garmin matters to me and I want the Zumo to become more popular. The best thing is that I've got plenty of room for more songs/albums as my collection grows. So, right now, I have about 450 "songs" on a 16GB SD card. I kept some songs separate as singles for easy access. 300 albums = 300 songs as far as the Zumo is concerned. I used it to combine all the mp3 songs from each album into a single, large MP3 file. So I bought a copy of Direct MP3 Joiner from Piston Software. Our audio track splitter can quickly split larger MP3 or WAV.

Direct WAV MP3 Splitter is an automatic WAV and MP3 cutter. Whether it's a 4MB file or a 100MB file, it still gets stored as one song - out of 1,000 available. Direct WAV MP3 Splitter can split or cut MP3 and WAV files. I realized the Zumo doesn't care how large the MP3 file is. Want to know how? It hit me about a month ago. Is that way cool, or what? I mothballed my IPod and now carry all the music I own on my Zumo (with space for more if I need it). I now have my entire music collection (almost 300 albums) incorporated into my GPS/Navigation/Photo Album/Bluetooth Interface/MP3 Player - all in a single handheld device - on my motorcycle, in my car, or at my desk. I have come up with a workaround that has enabled me to put almost 4,000 songs (13 GB of MP3 files) on my Zumo. As you may recall, the long and short of it was that the Zumo's Library database was capped at 1,000 entries and Garmin didn't feel it was possible to increase that capacity.

It all started when I contacted Garmin Technical Support to see if there was a way to increase the MP3 song limit to more than 1,000 songs. Direct MP3 Joiner creates innovative solution! About four months ago, we traded a few emails regarding the MP3 song limit in the Zumo 550.
