Car radio won't read from Fuze

MP3 players Sansa Fuze
1

I have a Pioneer DEH-4000UB in my car, which has a USB-Port. The radio is able to play MP3s and WMAs (VBR, CBR up to 320KBit/s, ID3-Tag 1.0, 1.1, 2.2-4). It only accepts MSC-drives with Bulk-protocoll (whatever) up to 250GB and formated with FAT16/32.

It works fine with my sister’s USB-stick, but it won’t work with my Fuze. I have mostly VBR MP3s stored on it, some FLACs, too. I have absolutely no idea why, but when I stick in the Fuze’s USB-Cable, the radio recognizes an USB-drive but say ‘no audio’. It is able to read the data out of subfolders, so that isn’t the problem either. I tried changing the USB-mode from ‘auto’ to MSC, to no avail.

I’d be very frustrated if I couldn’t use the Fuze in my car,even more so since I know it works with some car radios (only thing I foud via search).

Thanks for your help

Did you Add the Music in MSC Mode to the Fuze??

I don’t know, when I manually added the music the USB-mode was set to ‘auto’. Should I really try erasing all music and put it back in MSC-mode?

The Auto-Defect setting connects in MTP mode by default whenever possible. So to be sure, I’d suggest deleting all music (you can format using the on-board function to do this in one fell swoop), and then manually setting the player in MSC mode and transferring your music back to your player in this mode.

Hoepfully this will work for you. :smiley:

Thanks, that solved the problem.
