Hello

I've got a little Chinese USB audio player -  like a car player I suppose-  and I can't understand the Chinese manual  :) 

I've plugged in a stick formatted NTFS with an MP3 file on it and it remains lifeless-  so I thought I'd ask.

Any guide to setting it up to play ?

It would need to be formatted FAT32.

OK-  thanks.  Does there have to be some form of software player on the stick, VLC or something, or  just the MP3 audio ?   Without a screen to see I'm a bit lost.

JohnC-    I found a drive formatted FAT 32 , put an MP3 file on it and it plays.   So thanks for that.

The unit distorts badly if the volume is loud though-   so I wouldn't recommend it to anybody. 

 

Thanks for your help. I'll see if I can work out how to select tracks without a viewscreen.

Yes, speakers are good.  The problem was a corrupted .wav on the stick.

My apologies for the long delay.
