Your car with the hard drive--is that by any chance an Audi? I had a 2010 Audi with a 20 MB hard drive for storing music, and it would only store mp3 files--refused to copy anything else (e.g., .wav) from a thumb drive.

No, it's a 2013 BMW with hard drive based navigation and 20GB of 'left over' space for music. I think it supports WAV and MP3, but probably not AIFF, AAC, ALAC.... not sure as I haven't tried it.As much as I like it coupled to my iPhone 5s, I'm convinced that no auto manufacturer should be in the infotainment system business. We should leave that to Apple CarPlay, Google's OAA, or others.
There's a good article linked below.

If you use the highest resolution MP3, it will probably sound good in your car. However, it might be a real hassle loading the hard drive unless you can connect a computer. I have a USB port in my car that accepts MP3 and WMA from a USB flash drive. I have 60 of my favorite CDs on a 4-GB USB flash drive and they sound just fine in my car. I'm very surprised you haven't tried MP3 in your car just to find out what it sounds like.
Best regards,
John Elison
