Playing in car I just got a 16 GB Patriot Xporter XT Rage 16 GB USB 2.0. I loaded my music on it with separate folders to keep it organized. I have 10 folders on it with each folder containing about 70 songs. Anyway I can't get my Car stereo to recognize the flash drive. It just says error.

I guess it could be a file system incompatibility. Is the file system in your Sandisk FAT32 and in the Patriot any other (like NTFS)? If yes, format you Patriot in FAT32 and it will probably work.

I was curious about this too, as I want to use it for my music collection in my Ford Sync. Did you ever get it to read?

It is not a file thing. I checked that. Certain flash drives don't work for my car. Kingston ones used to work but not anymore.

I drive a 2011 Honda CR-V and so far haven't been able to find a model that will work in it. I have the 5th generation Shuffle and when I tried to plug it in was told that my vehicle didn't support the format. I know this hasn't been much help as I'm not sure what year model car you drive. I'm assuming that my car would need a much older model iPod since none of the three MP3 players I've tried have worked. I hope you find something that works for you!

Yes the 8 GB flash drive will work with this CD player. The artists and song names will display on the head unit depending on how the files are transferred to the USB drive. For example if you take original not burnt CDs and rip them to your computer then copy them to your USB the artist and song names will appear normally..if you have multiple artists on a burnt mixed CD without any artist or track names then it will display as custom mix. If you use windows media player you can manually go into each song on your computer and change the artist and track info to the correct informAtion.

I have tried to use the CD for my car and it would not play. I am not sure why. I have not had time to troubleshoot. If I findout through tech support, I will get back to you.

YES, I tried a cheap ADATA S102 usb 3.0 it would not work in my old P4 system for more than one minute. Patriot Supersonic Rage worked right out of the package. No need to format the drive, no free software to delete, it just worked in 32bit Windows 7 Ready Boost.

You are absolutely right David. I create my playlists on Windows Media Player 11 and zip,it's on the player. To delete a song or add, it's the same thing...hook it up and do what you want-thru WMP. This is our 2nd SanDisk. The other one is the black 2MG. Only problem we had with that one was every time we plugged in the USB XP said the deivce wasn't recognized. SanDisk was great! After walking me thru some instructions to no avail, SanDisk said we'll supply the shipping label and costs and will replace immediately. They did. Now, no problems. I think the service at SanDisk is top-notch.

I've used this in Windows XP/7/8. And I think my friends that I've used it in is a Linux machine. I also use this for my cars stereo, which has USB input. Reads as any plug and play flash drive. Shows up as removable storage.

I use a 16gb flash drive but I always use random play--sometimes it freezes when loading--but if I switch to cd then back to usb-it seems to always work fine. I've had no problems with sony or Philips mp3 devices--just seems to lock up when first reading flash drives--it is a little slow at reading files before it begins playing--I'd say about a minute delay-not a problem.

Gary,For some reason Kingston appears to be using the the DT100 designation on two very different drives. The 16GB unit looks like a 4GB Cruzer that I have. The Cruzer has a little ring that allows it to be clipped onto a lanyard. I do not see that in the picture. The more serious problem is that even when retracted, pocket lint, sand and water easily enter the contact connector area.A month or two ago I got the 8GB DT100. As I thought I could see, this maintained the traditional Kingston cartridge design. The cap can be removed and stored on the other end when the device is in use. When not in use the device can be clipped back onto your lanyard. Buy two 8GB units for a little more and stay happy longer.

I use a flash drive. It automatically recognizes the songs and they are seen as a continuation to the songs that are already programmed into the PSRE-433.I have approximately 350 songs on my flash drive and the PSRE-433 plays every one of them just fine.

A flash drive with music will play. I pligged in my phone but it only charged it. Great radio though. You dony have to cut anything out if you have room on your console. Glad I bought it!

I really do not have a problem ... The radio in my car for some reason was not picking up local radio frequencies now that I have this it works well as a fm radio picks up the local frequencies. The player is fine as an MP3 it was a no brainer to load it .... The only set back have is that I bought a 4 gig and I have way more music than that... I had a 32 gig iPod before and it was stolen ... And to be honest I don't miss it... No complaints about this product .... I use it mostly in my car just plug it in the aux and good to go ....

I've used a 4GB Patriot flash drive (cost about $10) that works fine on my 46xbr6. That particular drive is formatted FAT32. A 1GB Sony flash drive that came with a Blu-Ray player is formatted FAT, so I'd guess virtually any usb flash drive will probably work. The 46xbr6 photo viewing feature works great, even for deeply nested file systems (folders within folders - - -). I've selectively browsed photos from a file system containing hundreds of folders & thousands of jpeg files. It's strange that Amazon's comparative descriptions of the over & under 40" versions of XBR6 ignore the absence of usb in the smaller series, ignoring the fact that it's a MAJOR feature.

When I bought the shuffle I didn't notice the whole USB 2.0 thing, till I got it home, connected it to my USB port and tried to transfer a song. I kept getting errors saying that the device could not be written to. I went and bought a USB 2.0 card with 5 ports for $32, installed it and everything worked fine from then on. Other people have told me that it should work with USB 1.0, just slower...but I didn't find that to be the case.

My car doesn't have USB port but it would likely work. I can play files using Clip through my computer. If you are going to play it through car system I hope to God your using FLAC and not MP3 files.

I just purchased this player... it works fine, but I have put two different 64gb cards in the player and it does not seem to read the music. What type of formatting is required to match the player?
1037092
I'm using a 128GB SD-XC card. It will see above 32GB...but the hurdle to overcome is formatting the cards larger than 32GB to FAT32 as it will be exFAT. Stock windows operating systems formatting in FAT32 have a drive limit of 32GB on flash drives, so if you want to format a flash drive 64GB or greater then you will need to use a third party program that formats drives. There are free and paid solutions...just google it.
