Infotainment Question...

[Jack Raccoon!]

I would ask my normal crew but don't want to hear their BS and they are too busy wacking off to Z06 vids...

USB Stick with my music is dead after a year of use. Do I load up another one or buy a dedicated Ipod thing or whatever...

Cheapest route is to buy a new USB stick. 30-40 bucks from Amazon will get you about 256 gigs.

That said, all I ever use is Spotify and 680 news. I pay about 5 bucks a month for a basic account.

I'd just buy a couple of these. If it fails you plug in your back up. They are only 10 bucks for 16 gb
Amazon product ASIN B07MDXBT87

Or Bluetooth your cell phone.
How large is your collection?

I had 2000 songs. I'm not using streaming/Sirius crap. Looking for long term solution. I'm technically challenged, among other things...

If my math is correct that is about 40 gb. The 64 gb version of the thumb drive is $16
Can't worry at 16 bucks if you keep the music backed up.

I have the music, tired of reloading. "No really honey I can go again" excluded....

Buy a cheap tablet, download a music player, insert a 64gig card, download your songs to it and bluetooth to your car. I have 10,000 give or take songs on mine and works great. Oops... forgot... no place to put a tablet in a C8... never mind...

Buy another USB, drag and drop the the content from the old USB into the new one and give that a shot.

Anything you buy can fail. Including your cell phone or an MP3 player. I can't remember the last time a USB stick failed on me.
I like the little USB thumb drives because they are so small and hardly take up any room in the console glove box

 

[Jack Raccoon!]

Ok, thanks for the suggestions. I'll try another brand of USB and see what happens...

I purchased a 4 port USB hub at bestbuy for like 15 bucks. This allows my wife to charge her phone, allows me to listen to my music, and plug in any other small device. I kind of wish GM would have provided an SD slot in the center console

I vote for another usb stick

If you can read what`s on the usb on your PC, look for file `lost directory` and delete it. This happened often on my Honda.
After deleting this file , it worked.
I got feed up of doing this all the time , that I sold it and bought another car.

 

[Jack Raccoon!]

I bought a new USB, loaded up a few songs and it works fine. My old USB never fit snug, this one I need pliers to remove. Thanks again everyone...

Good to know you didn’t have to buy a new C8
