[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1049001, member: 46727"] The memory sticks or thumb drives are all pre-formatted already to FAT so there's no need to format them again. And using Disk Utility may actually do more harm since it will place two partitions on the memory stick. I'm thinking that it's possible your car audio is not receiving the correct music format it needs to play. Some auto systems will play MP3's without a problem, some won't and need full audio. However, most new cars nowadays can play MP3s. What music format are your songs in? How did you copy them to the memory stick and where did you copy them from? Assuming you copied from iTunes, are you sure they're not in MP4 music format? (They need to be MP3) Regards. [/QUOTE]
