Format of music stored on usb
Can anyone give an insight of the do's and don't's of setting up a 23MY pivi pro system to access music on a USB stick?
I have a USB that worked on D4 but not being recognised at all on D5! I iGuide hasn't helped, are there size limits, disc format and music file formats that anyone knows works? Also, can music be downloaded/ stored on the car hard drive? (I don't think there is an accessible drive unlike the D4 which allowed a virtual CD system!)
Thanks!

Found this:
Compatible portable devices include:
USB mass storage devices, e.g., a memory stick. Devices must use NTFS or FAT32.
NOTE:
External hard drives are not recommended for use. Doing so could reduce the life of the device.
NOTE:
It is recommended that the USB mass storage device does not exceed 128GB. USB mass storage devices exceeding the maximum recommendation could cause a malfunction of the infotainment system.
NOTE:
Depending on the memory size of the USB mass storage device, a time delay may be evident before the stored files can be accessed.
Apple iPod devices using a lightning connector: iPad, iPod Touch, iPod Mini and iPhone Gen5 onward are supported. Full functionality for older devices cannot be guaranteed.
NOTE:
Album artwork displays if the iPod device is fully supported. Some Generation level devices cannot recognise or support the album artwork.
If connecting an iPod, mass storage, or Bluetooth® wireless technology device, use the touchscreen to operate and search the device.
NOTE:
The media system plays MP3, AIFF, M4A, FLAC, AAC, and ALAC files. Other formats are available.
NOTE:
If a software update has been activated on the connected portable media device, it is necessary to restart the media device. Restarting the device makes sure the update is recognised by the media system.
To maximise playback quality, it is recommended that lossless compression is used for any media files on USB mass storage devices. Failing this, it is recommended that compressed files utilise a minimum bit rate of 192 kb/s. A higher bit rate is strongly recommended.
NOTE:
Some MP3 players have a file system that is not supported by the system. To use an MP3 player, set it to USB Removable Device or Mass Storage Device mode.
