media player problems

[sam2408]

hey to play music in my fiat punto grande 08 i use a 16gb usb with 10.1gb of data on it without any licensed music. initially it works fine but occasionally it reverts back to telling me its "building a media library" and then only plays and shows the one song for sometime until i take the usb out.

i was thinking the solution would to be to downgrade my B&M version to 5.5 instead of the 5.6 currently installed since i cannot not use the message reader feature that came with 5.6. would this help or does anyone have any other solutions or even experienced this problem? cheers!

Did that particular stick work ok before the upgrade to 5.6? It sounds a bit large for the older blue and me hardware to handle. Try another stick.

I bought a 4gb stick two years ago and blue and me didn't seem to like it despite the modest size, I got the same error as you. In the end I put my 2gb one back in and it has been fine since. I don't think it was the size of the stick that was the problem in my case, just that blue and me can get a bit funny sometimes.

Hi Sam,

I also use a 16gb stick and I do get this error occasionally. I used to get it much more often but now it seems to have stopped. It simply seems that the media player cant handle sticks that big

I would say use a smaller stick but I can sympathize with you as it would not very convinient.

I made the mistake of plugging the stick into the service USB port (the one without the windows/blue and me sticker next to it. Although it did work it seemed to fail a lot more often that when i had it stuck in the other one. I'd make sure you have it plugged in the right port too.

Even more oddly every time there is a frost and I get in the car it seems to need to build the library again :/

hi
i would only use a 2g stick, they load up quicker,you can hold loads of tracks on it even at 320kps.
i have a few of them on the go,also means you can update your music files and still have one in the car ready to go.

I bought a 16gb stick, put 8.5gb music on it. It worked fine for 3 weeks but now it only recognises a few songs on there.
I've deleted and reloaded the stick, no probs there.
It has been very cold past couple of days, maybe JAMES'S comment about frost is a common problem.
I'll wait until it warms a little to see if that helps.
