Maximum USB stick size for music (SOLVED)

[sharpsicle]

Not sure if it’s a problem with the unit. It’s reading the usb but the library appears to be too large for Uconnect to index….

This might be what @Alan_Hepburn was mentioning where it wants a sub-folder or two. Are all the files in the root directory? If so, I'd put them in a few folders and see if that helps it build the library.

All of the files are organized from my iTunes library folder.
Every artist and album has a folder -

Artist/Album/songs in album.

I've used a 64gb thumb drive with stuff copied of CDs via my desktop. Works fine.

He was being sarcastic.

What format (file extension) are the files in?
I guess you could test the indexing theory by starting over and just loading a dozen or so files.

I'm using a WD 2TB portable unit with crazy amount of sub folders not even sure how many tunes i put on there

Ah.

The format are primarily .mp3 with some .aac.

I did try a small flash drive with both extensions and they were able to load and be indexed.

I still can't understand how some folks are using 128GB flash drives are 1TB HDD/SSD's and being able to have uconnect index the files.

I have uconnect 4 w/7inch screen. Wonder if that matters?

Tell me your secret on how you get it to work! haha.

Do you have uconnect 4 with 7inch screen? 8.4 inch screen?

It might work better formatted exFAT.

I initially tried exfat which had the same results.

does anyone here think I should just leave my Jeep on and let Uconnect try to index 70gb of music? How long should that take?

secret, i plugged it in and it worked ... ya its a 8.4 screen and i think its uconnect4 its a 2021

 

[Lunentucker]

I would think that the U Connect platform would be the same regardless of screen size, but there may be some firmware generational differences.
I was just wondering the other day if there's any way to manually update the firmware, or if even the dealer can do it.
I'm nearly certain it's Linux based?

Maybe provide more information on what kind of "unit" you're using, the file format, etc?
