I used a Lexar 4Go USB key since the beginning of my ownership. The car developped some problem suddenly reading the said key for some of the songs and can't read past my 1st folder (I use many folders, one for each group).

What do you think it could be tied to? I'm better buying a new one and see if it's just the USB key?

I use mp3 with bit rate between 128-320.

Thanks a lot!

I would reformat the key on your computer and re-copy the songs back over. That may fix it.

 

It's probably the file system or partition setup on the Flashdrive confusing the computer after a certain point.

Should be easy to fix.

First, copy all of the music off the drive onto your computer. Then...

1) Plug in your Flash drive

2) Click your start button and go to My Computer, or Computer (in Vista)

3) You'll see all of the drives in your system. Right-Click on your Flash drive, and choose format from the menu.

4) When the format window opens, click on the restore device defaults button, select quick format, and for file system, make sure FAT32 is selected.

5) Click OK to proceed with the format. When done, copy the music files over and give it a shot.

If that doesn't work, I have a more compllicated set of instructions I could explain, that details how to re-partition the Flash drive that may help.

 

I'll try that, thanks to both of you!

 

Did a CHKDSK and it seems some files were damaged or corrupted somehow. I removed the said files and everything is working great.

 

Excellent! Good to hear you're up and running again.
