Low-profile USB flash drive for music (to plug into side of 14" screen)?

[Hacksaw]

Any recommendations for a USB-c flash drive to play music from, to plug into the right edge of the 14" screen, that doesn't stick out like a giant wart?

Or maybe a low-profile right angle USC-C-to-A adaptor, to plug a vertical USB-A flash into?

It's probably in one of the manuals but if anyone knows top of the head, the answers to any of these:

• How does the music flash drive have to be formatted (NTFS OK?);
• What's the max size of the drive(hopefully at least 64GB)?;
• What music file types are supported?
• Any limits on jpeg album-art file size?
• Are playlists (e.g. M3U files) supported (i.e. the system sees them and displays them on screen, to be selected)?

not trying to be smart..... but with the way cars are today... and phones with music in them what's the point?

Yes Mad Ghost is right. Between using our free Sirius for a few months which is awesome, but wont keep because it is god awful expensive I have been also using Bluetooth from my phone which works great because I have a very large music library on it. Also you have all the other online sources through your phone. I also keep an old phone with my music on it as a player, bag the USB idea.

For nostalgic reason? ?

Have had great experiences with "Cable Creation" items over the years. (Edit: This is C-C ?‍)

I spend a decent amount of time out of signal range, I don't like the radio much, and don't always have my phone with me anyway. So I've got hundreds of albums I stick on tiny drives like these for my wife and I to use in our vehicles.

Just type "small usb drive" into Amazon and there are tons. They're cheap enough in the sizes you need.

the multimedia manual will spell out what you can use and what formatting you need and folder layout will be needed to run a usb for music.

I am not the OP, but I am interested in the issue as well. In my case, it has to with a rather large collection of live shows, mostly Grateful Dead and DMB.

Yes, I can stream somewhat, but I get what get; and/or I can download to my phone, but the volume of shows I'd like have available can quickly eat up my phone's storage.

I use this Amazon and plug it into my phone and use DB Power Amp to play the files via bluetooth. I have a lot of live shows and rare albums that I like. I formatted the stick in FAT 32 and save the files in flac.

Or better yet... connect an AIBOX, then install X off road, or youtube, or anything you want in the aibox. Make a good use of that beautiful screen!
