    I have a problem I hope someone has the answer to. I have copied music from my PC to a USB drive. When I plug it into the drive and try to play the music only some of the songs show up. I sometimes only like 4 or 5 songs show as available, but when checked on the PC they are all there. I also get double listings for some albums even though the file is only on the drive once. I would really like to enjoy my music while driving.

    2016 SR with the base radio. 32 GB drive. All music in My Documents/My Music.

    Thanks,

    No, I just accepted the default location from the PC. Don't know why some show but others don't. I would think the issue would be across the board, but my last name is not Gates wither.

    I have the same issue. In fact, I had the same USB with songs read well in my camry, but once I switched over it would only read a third of them. I've spent hours trying to figure out how to get all the songs to read but have been unsuccessful.
