Go to the DEALER where they can TROUBLESHOOT your ISSUE.
He's using SD cards in a USB adapter. It's probably just a compatibly issue with formatting of the SD cards or file format of music files
Do you know what's inside many USB thumb drives?
Yes, the same eproms as memory cards. Still doesn't change what I wrote.

A flash drive is usually the better choice for streaming music because it’s faster, more reliable, and works with way more devices. Most cars, speakers, and computers have USB ports, so you can just plug it in and go.
SD cards, on the other hand, can be hit or miss. Some devices don’t even support them, and even when they do, the card might not be fast enough to keep up—especially cheaper ones. That can lead to laggy or glitchy playback.
So sure, the internal composition may look similiar, but there are way more differences than you think.

Flash isn't EPROM.
There's literally an "SD card" mounted onto many cheap "flash drives." The manufacturing of SD card stock is cheap and plentiful. Sure, the better brands will have dedicated NAND chips, but not all flash are built the same. But you're right, a quality name brand flash drive tends to outperform a microSD in an pedestrian adapter.
Without knowing more specifics what "SD card", "USB adapter" he's using, it's hard to say definitively.
I keep a grip of SanDisk Ultra USB 3.0 flash drives of varying sizes in my backpack, and when necessary for tablets, etc., use a Sandisk microSD-USB adapter that doesn't perform too badly. My desktop has a built-in (add-on) media tray that accepts all manner of cards, and high speed USB. For microSD duties, I tend to buy the higher end Samsung or Sandisk U3 class devices. If I'm using a flash drive, I'm often moving multiples of DVD size ISO's to a system and/or importing them into a repo.
An "EPROM" I regularly setup, this one not long ago:
(more specifically 768TiB of IBM FlashSystem (24x FlashCore NVMe modules) in a 2U appliance, one of IBM's mid-size units), this one just a single cluster node pair mind you. The rest is a 2-node IBM Enterprise Power Server with 2 I/O expansion enclosures.
Go Army.
