USB memory stick

Questions. On my new 3rd gen can I use a USB memory stick with music on it . can I use that in the USB outlet to get tunes on the headset

 

@scouterjan Yes and yes. But, the bigger the stick, the slower it loads. 128gb is a decent size that loads quickly. As well, I think the USB has to be formatted in FAT32. Formatters can be found online, google is your friend here.

 

I believe the file limit is like 999 files. Could be wrong

 

Thanks guys for the information

 

File limit is 999 per folder. I was able to use a 128gb stick and fit 9500 songs. You can also use a splitter and add multiple USBs. It will read them separately and have multiple usb devices to select from.

 

Did you separate into folders or otherwise organize? Will truck recognize ? Hate to just have them all (6000+) in a big list. Been needing to get songs onto flash for a long time and with new Taco on the way now I'm motivated!

 

Yes definitely separate into folders. I have the separated where each folder is a album. And then all the singles I organized into folders named Random Rock or Random Rap. It will read them all. Something to be mindful of is the truck doesnt read and display information by the file name. It reads the properties of the file. So if the file name is Justin Beiber - Baby but in the properties for the file the artist is Metallica, song Enter Sandman, the truck is going to display Metallica Enter Sandman and organize it that way. There is a good program that I found from others on here called media monkey that helps rename the properties of the songs automatically. I have downloaded music since the underground Napster days so it really helped when trying to organize and rename the properties of 100+GB of music. Let me know if you have any other questions.
