Common Hyundai i30 USB music problems and how USB4Car fixes them.

Some albums play, others don't (same stick) USB4Car fixes this automatically

The fix: The silent skips: AAC albums (iTunes) and WMA rips above 128 kbps don't play. Convert both to MP3 and the whole stick plays.

The radio takes ages to see a big stick USB4Car fixes this automatically

The fix: Older i30 units recognize large sticks slowly, if at all. A 16–32 GB FAT32 stick mounts quickly and holds thousands of MP3s.

Track order wrong within albums USB4Car fixes this automatically

The fix: File-name sorting again: rename to 01, 02, 03 … per album folder and the order sticks on every i30 year.
