Anyone use a Jump Drive plugged into USB succesfully?
My 64GB Fat32 jumpdrive works great, but only shows me 2 folders to access. I read the manual, I tried SEARCH here, couldn't find anything about about this. Manual says something like 700 folders and 23,000 songs max or something like that.
Tried moving folders to the root, still no help. Even kept folder names 8 or less characters.
Ideas?

I use (in my 2012 base Fit) a 16 GB PNY Attache flash drive with no problems other than the head unit on rare occasions somehow getting itself out of sync with which file is which in a directory (e.g. it thinks file #52 is file #51, and then moves on to #52 and plays #52 again). It doesn't seem to have any major problems with finding the files and so forth.

Keeping files and folders in a reasonable order is a bit persnickety, since the radio goes by their physical order on the drive rather than anything useful to humans like alphabetical order. The manual alludes to this fact.

Maybe there's some other file on your drive that's confusing the radio? Maybe the file extensions are inappropriate? Maybe it would work if you just reformatted the drive and put the files on again? Maybe your drive is strangely incompatible?

 

Yes, just added more folders and the 3rd folder it would not show must have something unique in the MP3s, because all the new folders added are working great.
My take away is: if it can't find anything playable in the folder, it won't show you the folder. fair enough

Thanks for the feedback. Now I'm rollin large hahaha

 

I haven't tried a 64GB but i do use a 32GB and all the musci does come up. Also make sure its a format it recognizes, which si mp3 and WMA, it doesn't recognize the apple loss less or AAC files.

 

Mine recognizes and plays (non-DRM) AAC files. Possibly that capability was added for 2012. Apple lossless files don't work.

 

I could see some files not working. Even some MP3s have differences within: bit rates, sample rates, some other tagging and junk could mess it up. The folder it won't play is one I ripped from my CD a long time ago using Windows Media Player to do the rip. The rest are a variety of sources like my own digital mixer DAW, youtube, stream ripper, they all seem to work fine. just this one old mp3 CD rip from long ago.

 

I'd have to check, but I'm pretty sure my '10 sport has AAC files on my flash drive, and it plays them just fine.
