Hi,
I have transferred all my music on to an 8gb USB stick and although everything is recognised it is not playing any of the music? I have tried another stick and it does the same. I am using a Lexar firefly, formatted to fat 32. Any ideas? |

When you say not playing, do you mean simply no sound? I might sound like I am saying 'check the kettle is plugged in because it is not boiling', but you may have reduced the volume to zero.
If you use the phone and turn the volume down, it doesn't affect say the rear parking sensor volume. Some in here for example, with other models of Volvo, have said the phone doesn't ring through the speakers for example when on bluetooth and they find that they have turned the volume down to zero for the phone,thinking they were turning down say the stereo. The button is the same one for everything. Regards |

It recognises them, says some are unrecognisable then recognises them, then wont play anything. (freezes at the start of the track). |

It's MP3 downloads from Amazon, I have no idea why but having removed all of the Albums I have downloaded from Amazon it works fine.

I am guessing that mixing MP3 and wav might be a problem? Try just folders with MP3 files which could solve it. Also, bear in mind the original design of the USB port was for computers. That design did not take into account the shock and vibration that is experienced in a moving car. Often a standard length USB data stick will quickly shake out of the port and will not play, or will become unreliable. The best way round this is to use a micro USB like the one below. I have an 8GB version, formatted FAT32, with gazillions of tracks and it plays beautifully. Because it is so light and short it is immune to the shock and vibration problem.
*** Kingston DataTraveler Micro DTMCK/8GB 8GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive *** Hope that helps, Andy |

Shock is not generally an issue on USB, as far as connections go they are fairly solid needing pounds of force to remove, even the largest pen drives are literally grams. Micro drives have issues with speed, so I prefer to run something a bit faster as slow drives can sometime have issues playing higher quality files in time.
