Using USB port to play mp3 songs

In my 2023 SS console I use a USB stick to play songs. The first time I plug it in it sees it and plays songs. If I stop and turn off the car and come back later and restart the car, the USB stick will not be recognized again until I unplug it and reinsert it. Is this normal operation or is there a setting I need to enable.

No, you should not have to remove and reinsert the USB drive. I believe it could be the .mp3 file format you're using. I convert or rip all my music files into .wav format and they work fine in both of my vehicles (2019 Equinox & 2022 Camaro).

I was getting that with mine as well. Wasn't every time, but it happened enough. I ended up transferring my music to an SD card and use that instead. Hasn't happened since.

it could be in how your files are organized on the drive, and possibly the format of the drive (FAT32 vs NTFS).
