External music

[daronjh]

I've tried to play music with a usb drive, either plugged directly in or using an extension cord, it is not recognized. What's the trick? I also have issues with CD's I've burned. I've tried MP3 & MP4's. It only plays purchased CD's.

Are you selecting the usb device as the source? I ask because I use an I-pod and have a Samsung phone, both connected via Bluetooth and sometimes it recognizes the phone only as the source for phone and music, and then I have to select the I-pod for the music source.

you will need a utility to format a USB drive larger than 32gb to fat 16/32.

I followed this thread a long time ago and it worked perfectly for me

Yes. I've tried without phone connected, it was actually in house, still nothing.

Yes, I've seen this. My flash drive is not that big, maybe 8G. I thought maybe it was a Mac issue.

Reformat the drive as fat32 and try again. Also random brand like centon may not be recognized at all.
