Compressing Music Files For Thumb Drive In Car

I just bought a new Jeep Grand Cherokee and the sound system is excellent.......for a car. I have a ton of music in JRiver, and most of them are large files. I'd like to compress them for my 128 gb flash drive. I think I could fit more music on it, and the lowered sound quality for be fine....because it's a car stereo, right?

Can I do this? If so, how?

Thank you all in advance!

Get dbPowerAmp and compress your files to 320K Variable Bit Rate. This will give you *excellent* sound quality for on the road listening.

And if the 32 GB limit mentioned is true, simply partition your 128 GB flash drive into 4 32 GB "drives" as long as the Jeep's audio player will recognize the 4 virtual drives.

If it won't, then just buy a 32GB flash drive and load your files onto that. I bet a 32GB flash drive costs about $8.00 nowadays...
