Ah, good to know. Just have known for years that it was almost impossible to get iTunes music on a USB drive.

I got PNYs and they work acceptably well but often take several seconds to appear in My Media Library, and sometimes it takes a few minutes for albums to load. It might be because they are USB 2.0, but I used a USB 3.0 drive before which also was slow. I just bought a set of Samsung Fit drives which are USB 3.0 and are rated well for car audio. Maybe they will work better. |

I think that this is just a problem with that model of pen drive, because I have the same issue. Other pen drives work, just nit the 32g Scandisk short stick :(

mylink's audio player i believe (at least the 2016) is based on some open source software that will play pretty much anything you'd expect non-proprietary players (without copy protection) to play. What they dont support is a wide range of metadata reading support.
So the system only white-lists based on filename extension the formats that it supports metadata for. But because it uses stupid filename matching and not mime/magic file format reading to determine the file data (like most good software would), you have the option of just renaming the files to circumvent the whitelist. This means you can rename files to end in .mp3 even if it's not and it will play fine. I do this with all of my flac files. You dont get the meta data support, but i'll play flac files without metadata any day over mp3s if i'm playing over flash drive vs just streaming . so tldr; if you test your file and it doesn't play, just rename it to .mp3 and test again and you may be surprised. |

I have been using the Sandisk Ultra Fit 32GB for about a year now, on a small hub. They work fine and music plays fine. I just bought two new one to rotate in with different music but haven't tried them yet.
I have mostly .mp3 files and the drives are FAT32 The new one are USB 3.1 Gen 1 Not sure what the first ones were. It all fit in the center console. |

I'll consider this a feature and not a bug (btw it's many times faster this way because files don't need to be opened; plus, part of the metadata is stored at the end with some file formats, which means the player would even need to seek into those files).
