New to Uconn 5 8.4 in my 2022, what I don't like

[Zztopman]

I'm a big user of USB sticks and MP3s
- I don't like that putting in a new stick makes the Audio settings return to default. have to re-set equalizer and loudness
- I don't like that is only recognizes some USB sticks...
- It plays sticks that were formatted FAT32.... but FAT32 is not available on Win11
So far any other "formatted" stick won't play... what gives with that????

And it certainly doesn't play anything on a 64GB stick

- The BASS is awesome but I don't see the Alpine label on my center speaker.... so what brand do I have and what speakers can I buy???
meaning I need to match the Ohms if I replace anything with a better speaker

So thanks ahead if you have some answers

Nobody else uses USB mp3s???

Okay here's my own update:

So far any 32GB USB Flash Drive that is FAT32 will work with no problems at all...
I formatted on my wife's win10 puter and loaded one in USB #1 and one in USB#2 and I was able to jump back and forth between drives with no problems...
I will now just load all my music on 32GB drives and label them...

Correct. Didn't even know you could do that in our Ram's. Last time I screwed with an mp3 was more than 10 years ago and I used to have 2500+ easy. Nowadays it's all YouTube music, Pandora and/or Spotify that all integrate nicely via Android Auto/Apple Car Play. Come up to the 21st century, your casettes will thank you!

Well, I make my custom music on several USB drives and I get to copy REMASTERED music and best sound quality I can get

I found that you keep the GB in the 20s and format Fat32 I'm not having any problems now
2 USB drives at a time in my 2022 and I now jump back and forth for up to 40GB of music
AND IT"S FREE

I have over 2100 songs on a single usb formatted to fat32 with a windows 11 computer.
what I don't like is it sometimes forgets where it stopped, so I have a printed list that I mark where it stops in case it starts over. which seems to happen every 10 to 15 starts.
