#256953 — USB-slot for to play MP3

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Good day.
Matter is that radio has USB-slot for to play MP3 files but when I plug a
stick (which played on computer) in radio just something are clicking and
does not play nothing.
I think the problem is that this my stick consists of separate albums and
radio does not find MP3 files, i.e. name albums interfere.
Perhaps, it need doing that MP3-files begin at once and going without stop,
yet wished file will be selected with buttons on radio, they are there.
Maybe whoever suggests what better to format USB-stick for playing
MP3-files by 'fdisk'?
I would want to try this way and ask you how to format USB-stick, e.g.
which file system better, etc.
I used 'fdisk' for formatting  USB  two years ago and thereat was
consulting on that site.
Alas, almost all is forgotten and there was different purpose of
formatting, but 'fdisk' was used.
Excuse me for my impudence, I hope on help now too.
Thanks all.

Fdisk is for partitioning the disk. Then you have to put a file
system on the partition(s) -- that's what mkfs is for.

Your best chances are if you have a MSDOS partition table with
one primary partition, and put a VFAT file system on that.

Here [1] a thread with the same question and some answers. Don't
hesitate to come back if anything is unclear.

Cheers

I think the main issues that can show up are:
- the format of the fileystem (VFAT is probably the safest bet)
- the format of the music files (MP3 is the safest bet)
- the location of those files (AFAIK there is no agreed standard here,
  so you'll have to check the radio's manual; but maybe a good first try
  is to just put all the files in the main directory).

Check out this list,

[ it is to have stuff without having it, which is much more
  difficult - well, obviously - still, some knowledge can be
  acquired that way for those who look, and compile text
  files. ]
