Playing in car I just got a 16 GB Patriot Xporter XT Rage 16 GB USB 2.0. I loaded my music on it with separate folders to keep it organized. I have 10 folders on it with each folder containing about 70 songs. Anyway I can't get my Car stereo to recognize the flash drive. It just says error.

I guess it could be a file system incompatibility. Is the file system in your Sandisk FAT32 and in the Patriot any other (like NTFS)? If yes, format you Patriot in FAT32 and it will probably work.

I was curious about this too, as I want to use it for my music collection in my Ford Sync. Did you ever get it to read?

It is not a file thing. I checked that. Certain flash drives don't work for my car. Kingston ones used to work but not anymore.

I have had my radio for over a year now. I had problems the first time I tried to play music from a USB flash drive. I tried another drive and it worked fine. I have no idea why the first one didn't work but formatted the second one and it worker perfectly.

I bought 2 from a car stereo store and tried to play videos from both. When it didn't work I did some research and learned they will only show pictures from the SD and USB. huge bummer. manual says: USB supports: MP3 and JPEG files only and will NOT support: BMP, M4P, WAV, ASF, H.264, DivX, WMA.

I bought the 16 gb scandisk that said "xbox" on it, it worked fine. to save money I bought a regular scandisk , also 16gb, and it seems to work fine also. I think any flashdrive would work, as long as it fits in the usb port

This SanDisk Cruzer, whether it is 4GB or up to 64GB, is simply a storage device for data files, music files, etc. This means that it can store files for now or later use or playback on any device (computer or vehicle stereo player) which has a USB 2.0 connection

I just purchased this player... it works fine, but I have put two different 64gb cards in the player and it does not seem to read the music. What type of formatting is required to match the player?

You should be able to as long as the files are not protected by iTunes new files and songs bought on iTunes in the past few years have not been encrypted so it should work with your car however many vehicles are limited to the amount of data it can read in a flash drive. My vehicle is a 2013 model and it can only read up to 16gb of files in a flash drive but when you plug in a device there is no limit.

I have tried to use the CD for my car and it would not play. I am not sure why. I have not had time to troubleshoot. If I findout through tech support, I will get back to you.

I have no idea. When I plug in my mp3 player, my computer recognizes it as a usb flash drive and it opens it as a usb flash drive. Sounds like your computer is lacking the drivers to open the player. You might check the Pyle website to see if they have a driver or some troubleshooting suggestions for you.

I had trouble with my Shuffle on my laptop with USB 2.0, so I tried my Desktop PC with USB 1.x and could not get any recognition of the device. Just an FYI.It worked fine on another computer with USB 2.0.

As far as I know you can not put in a usb flash drive. But you can put in a flash card and it will play it. you can not put music into it as far as I know there is no memory in the unit you add the flash card to it with music on it that you down load from cds or the internet. To down load music you simply get it on your computer then put it onto a flash card you have for the unit.

As someone else mentioned, I don't think it will play files from a thumb drive if you have the charger plugged in. Try unplugging the charger, and make sure you don't have an SD card plugged in at the same time. Also, for right or wrong, the unit appears to remember where you left off over multiple thumb drives. So if you re-connect a thumb drive, it probably won't automatically start at the beginning. After figuring out those two quirks, mine seems to play fine with older converted MP3 files across multiple directories.
