USB stick for music, corrupted?

[Lgagnon]

I copies music files from m'y computer, on a 16gig usb stick. I organised the files into folders. IT worked fine at first, the system can Play the music files without any issues. However, after a few cycles of Starring the Truck and tuning IT off, suddenly the system cannot access the usb stick anymore. I tried removing IT and plugging IT black but nothing happens. I tried plugging IT in a different Truck, same thing happens. The usb stick seems corrupted. Is There a solution ?

USB stick corrupted or just defective. I would load up a different brand/quality stick. Also, format it as a eFat stick.

Have you tried playing it on your computer? That will tell you if it is programmed wrong .

Yep, sounds like a stick failure, especially if it also won't play on your computer.

IMO it's very unlikely that your truck is or caused the problem, much more likely a stick failure.

Just burn another on a quality drive and try again. I'd avoid the very tiny thumbnail-size drives which are almost flush with the port when inserted, they can have trouble dissipating heat.

I recopied the files on another usb stick and after a few cycles, the system doesn't recongnize the source. I use emtec usb sticks

Format them FAT32 for best results.
They should play M4A, MP3 and WAV files, I don't think Flac will work , but who knows everything changes.

I don't mind a redirection of this thread at all, and welcome responses to your question, but perhaps a new thread with a descriptive title would better catch the attention of those who can offer useful suggestions?

Thanks! I’ll give that route a try.

Yeah SD-card and usb stick can go bad. I just replaced 2 32gb sd-cards last week for my dash cams.
