Can I just plug a USB drive full of music into my truck and it will play the songs? What format files will it accept, .mp3, .m4a?
 
It should accept most formats, but playlists were a pain. I ended up using Winamp to make working playlists, but it was a bit of a chore to manually do everything. Make sure file names are formatted correctly and without special characters, since that proved to be an issue when I was first rebuilding things on my flash drive.

I did notice one of my Sandisk Cruzer drives didnt jive with the system, but my newer 128gb Sandisk seems fine, as well as all the Verbatim drives I tried.

You can just put songs in separate folders for easy playlists

Might try doing a full format on that one to see if it's the claimed size. There are tons of counterfeits on Amazon.

There's a sandisk test utility out there as well.
