Hi all
I have downloaded an album onto my computer from amazon, put it onto memory stick (works fine) went to put it into my car usb port and nothing happens.
Anyone got any ideas on how to get it to work
Thanks

Hi Penfold
You should have a source button on the stereo if linked to the USB Port. Its usually the same button which switches between radio, cd and bluetooth and it should say something like USB/ iPod.
Hope this helps!

Re: MP3 player in car
Also check which format you downloaded it in.
Sometimes you downoad them as MP4 and some players only support MP3.
You can get free software to convert them.

Re: MP3 player in car
To me it sounds like a problem with the album, so again it may be the format it is in
If it is not that, then sometimes it can be the way the USB is formatted. Try reformatting the USB and copying the tunes onto it again, that may work.
Other than that then I am at a loss to be of much more help, sorry
