Car 'Infotainment' Problem

[monmouth]

Oh, so you don’t just tell the car what to do?

I leave that to my missus, she’s the expert.

Don’t we all?

I can confirm that it’s nothing to do with the flux capacitor.

Where's Doc Brown when you need him

Not sure if this would help, but have you tried a usb-a to usb-c adaptor to use your usb-a stick?

I have one of these in the house & have no use for it. Next time you're at a home game, let me know and I'll bring it with me to the Alma for you.

Interesting, never encountered this problem, mainly because I don’t use a usb.

All jokes aside, from what I’ve read, it seems to be a compatibility issue, and the best solution seems to be this:

2. Use a "FAT Sorter" Utility
Since car players often read files based on the order they were written to the flash drive's file table, you need a tool to reorder them without copying them over one by one.

• Tool: Use software like DriveSort or FAT Sorter.
• How it works: These tools rewrite the file allocation table (FAT) to match the filename alphabetical/numerical order.

Thanks Steve, but I don't think using the old USB instead of the new one will solve the problem. There's no difference between the two sticks other than the shape of the plug.

Thanks, I'll look into it.

Slightly off-topic, but I couldn’t live without Apple Music. So convenient to have pretty much every song at your fingertips.

Same here. Except it’s Spotify for me. Use it constantly. And the wife’s paying. Winner winner chicken dinner.

Amazon music for me. Spotify is for the serious musos isn’t it?

His music is on a memory stick, not a phone.

His music is on a gramophone...

I don't sit down and listen to any music I used to occasionally, but I can't remember the last time.
