USB music problem

[Woodman]

Hello,
When playing MP3's through the USB connection in the glovebox the music jumps and skips. Just wondering if anyone else has had the same problem and a fix?
Cheers Woody

What year? I just hooked mine up to usb and it was a bit jittery. mines a 2014 glx-r warrior with sat nav mmcs

It's a June 2013 GLXR. I'm wondering if the USB stick has too big a memory (2G), I might try a smaller one and see if I've got the same problem .

I ran a 16gb stick. manual says up to 32gb support. Do you have the sat nav mmcs or the standard stereo? Ill check my usb again tomorrow. only had it on for a few seconds.

[Woodman]

Just the standard stereo that the GLXR has. Thanks for your help, cheers Woody

Funny you write about this issue, because I bought a 16GB sandisk USB drive, filled it with music and the 1st time I played it it jumped and carried on. The second time I ever used it it did it a couple of times, but has never done it since. Its weird that it only happened twice. Mine is a 2014 GLX-R.

I have two 32 GB sticks full with mp3s, no problem with any (except that they are a bit slow to load). MIne is a 2012 GLXR.

They are very slow to load! couldn't agree more!

I have a 2012 GLXR with the standard stereo and havnt been able to work out how to play a USB. A quick tip on here would save me reading the manual!

Just a thought but are the USB sticks V1.0 / 2.0 or 3.0 and what is the version USB reader in the glovebox?

[Woodman]

Well I purchased a new USB drive (8G) and loaded the same files and just gave it a quick try, so far so good.. Fingers crossed it stays this way. Thanks for all your replies cheers Woody

So I thought my problem was fixed, went off to work this morning and my mp3's start jumping and skipping again Not happy Jan...

Suggests poor connections.

I'd try reseating any connectors involved.

With everything turned off give a USB stick a bit of rubbing over the USB socket a few times. Sometimes other could be a microfilm of corrosion on contacts.

Also be worth doing a reformat on the USB stick before loading music on it.

If none of this changes anything, its possible that the player firmware may be corrupted.
