TimJ Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Hi (2014 Focus Titanium Navigator) I've put some music in MP3 files on a USB stick and plugged it into the USB port in the centre armrest. But even when I select Aux, the system doesn't find anything, can it not play MP3? I was led to believe you can plug in your own music. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Definitely plays mp3 files.It sometimes depends on the file structure.Too many sub folders can confuse the system.Look in the menu and see if you can find the option to reindex the files.What size stick is it?Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimJ Posted January 12, 2020 Author Share Posted January 12, 2020 Hi - the stick is 8GB, I put the files in a folder called 'Music' though - I'll try putting them on just plain though (not in a folder) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimJ Posted January 13, 2020 Author Share Posted January 13, 2020 still doesn't work, maybe you have to connect something that plays mp3 files like an mp3 player or a phone rather than just a USB stick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 No, usb sticks should work just fine.Maybe the socket itself is duff?Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimJ Posted January 13, 2020 Author Share Posted January 13, 2020 am I choosing the right option, I'm pressing the aux button on the Sony infotainment thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimJ Posted January 14, 2020 Author Share Posted January 14, 2020 I've got a pile of suggestions from the internet to try now: Try doing Menu/Sync Media/Media Menu/Play Menu/Select Source (from an American video, might not apply to my car) Try Master reset Try updating SYNC Try changing USB stick format to FAT32 (mine says it is NTFS curently) Try blowing canned air into the socket as it might have dust in as it is vertically mounted (hole pointing up) gonna try some of these this morning anyway!
