    Had this issue on my 2013 Goldwing, had to change all the Windows Media formated audio files to MP3, drove me crazy for a little bit. I had loaded 50 or 60 songs from various CDs, when I tried it out only 10 or so would play, checked the flash drive on my computer, all the files were there, but seems that those 10 were formated as MP3 right off the CD, the others were in the Windows Media format, converted them and it is all good now.

    From the owner's manual (MP3 page 103 and WMA page 104):

    "... In the audio function, MP3/WMA music files in USB flash drives can be played. ..."

    See manual pages for specific supported formats and bitrates.

    Unfortunately, they do not support any lossless formats.

    MP4 Audio Files a No-NO

    If you are trying to play music from Apple (I-tunes), 99.99% sure it will be in MP4 format and will not play on the F6B. As others have said, MP3 files work just fine. Sure wish I knew how to convert them, the last "free" program I tried to download from the web to convert MP4 to MP3 files had a virus and almost totaled the computer. Hope you can get it worked out.

    FWIW, it is not free, but it is about the best ripper/converter out there: dBPowerAmp Reference

    https://www.dbpoweramp.com

    It will do bit perfect CD rips and compare the digital signature against a database of signatures to see if you got a clean rip or not. If one or more tracks were not perfect, polish your CD and just re-rip the flagged tracks.

    It also has a batch ripper that can create a duplicate image of your library (or part of your library) into a different specified format. Just set it up and let it run over night if you have a large library. I used this to convert over 1,000 CDs from FLAC into a format understood by my wife's BMW Z4 (once I figured out what the beemer's directory structure and encoding requirements were).
