USB Jump drive music

[Dirtstiff's F6B]

To those of you Wing or F6B owners familiar with the audio system.

Is there a special Jump drive needed to play down loaded music via the usb connection in the left rear saddle bag?

I loaded a good bit of music from ITunes on a new jump drive and when I tried to play it, I got a "no songs" message.

Am I using the wrong type of Jump drive or file??

Thanks

I may need to be corrected here, but you need a "music player" down there in the saddlebag, your jump drive is not a music player but a storage device for files. You will need an IPOD or similar device to listen to your tunes.

Most of my songs were MP3 format and some windows media.......
i just drag the folders listed by artist to the flash drive from my laptop.

I just got it figured out with some help..

I was trying to down load my Wife's I Tune play list with the wrong file format. They have to be a MP3 format.
Once I got that converted, the music plays fine from a flash drive. I then downloaded about $ 20 bucks of new music from Amazon and loaded to the flash drive.

I ended up with about 30+ new tunes to listen too. Great sound quality as well.

Wife also bought me a nice quality PNY 16 gb flash drive, rated highly for music playback.

Now for some dry weather..

Thanks for the help,

You simply need to open Itunes to your music playlist/s, then drag the songs you want to a location of choice [the desktop, for example, or direct to your jump drive].

You do not need a particular brand of jump drive. I would however stay away from the "mini" style drives as they can be difficult to align when trying to insert the drive in either your desktop or cycle USB port.

Tip: I discovered that what you listen to at home or in your car may not be fully appreciated [through your external speakers] by those sitting next to you at a stop light.
