Vitacy Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 Hello all, as the title says I have some USB problems. What I mean is I had put songs on 2 separate drives and only a small portion actually play through my HU. I tried searching through the drive from my HU and pick a song that wasn't playing and it won't play. But when I plug the USB into my computer or Xbox it shows and plays every single song. I have also tried putting songs on in sections and every single song works, but when I put all the sections together it doesn't play them all. My friends usb's play all the songs no problems. So maybe my computer is a POS and won't put them all on? Idk, does anyone have any tips or advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azagtoth502 Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 A limit on files I believe, that's why it plays when divided up into folders. When they are all put together, the length of the list is too long for the radio to read. I've had mp3 players the did the same.

Skullz Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 What h/u? Some h/u's have a hard time with some usb drives and wont recognize them and depending on the h/u you may not have much more than 2gigs to play with before you get errors and or it won't read it. Make sure that all songs are not copy right protected, if you use something like zune and d/l with it you'll have to convert it from their format to a standard mp3.

kickass audio Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 How is the flash drive formatted? Is it formatted through NTFS or FAT32? I to had a mp3 player do the same thing but only when i formatted to NTFS, when i wiped it and put it to FAT32 it solved it and i could throw all the songs i wanted on there without making a folder for ever one.

Vitacy Posted November 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 The HU is a pioneer DEH-73BT, the songs on my USB are all decaf songs, and I didn't think about checking the format. But I can put the songs on my IPhone and they all work with no problem. But I'm gonna play with the formatting when I get to my girls house cuz her comp runs faster then mine haha.

kickass audio Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Im not sure what the formatting of the iphone is since apple changed the file systems but my old 30gb 4th gen ipod video was formatted as a fat32 volume so maybe that will help.

jmander11 Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Formattin for ipods is different than usbs. Computers are capable of reading ntfs, as the xbox should. Format it Fat32, try 100 songs per folder and play with that till you find a number that works. Just looks like file limit.. try genre seperating...
