USB Playlist on Refresh Truck?

[Anthony Bessel]

'22 LTZ here

 

Has anyone been able to figure out the proper formatting for an M3U (playlist) file when playing a collection of MP3/M4A from a USB stick? I can get the truck to see the playlist itself and it will access it but then it just displays something akin to 'no media to play here'. 

 

I've tried this:

#EXTINF: 180, Elvis - Blue Suede Shoes

.\Elvis - Blue Suede Shoes.mp3

 

#EXTINF: 180, Elvis - Blue Suede Shoes

..\Elvis - Blue Suede Shoes.mp3

 

#EXTINF: 180, Elvis - Blue Suede Shoes

Elvis - Blue Suede Shoes.mp3

 

M3U is being placed in the root of the drive with songs for the most part arranged in folders by artist, then sub-folder for album, and then song. 

 

Any tips?

Did you find a solution? I notice my playlist does not work either. It see's the playlist title but after selecting it, it does not see the song list. All MP3's and M3U playlist are in single folder in the root of USB drive.

Thanks.  I figured it out! Playlist is working and I can finally choose different playlist and the MP3's are listed exactly in the order of the playlist.. Good luck.

So, how did you get playlists to show up?

RedLT, Could you please share how you got it to work. I'm dying here

I figured it out,  the  proper formatting for an playlist file for a USB stick

 

Trie this:

 

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:194,A Band Of Bitches - Noreste Caliente -  - A Band Of Bitches - Noreste Caliente
1.Top Music/A Band of Bitches - Noreste Caliente.mp3
#EXTINF:170,Roxanne - 01 - Roxanne
1.Top Music/Arizona Zervas - ROXANNE.mp3
#EXTINF:225,Hear Me Now - 01 - Hear Me Now
1.Top Music/Bad Wolves - Hear Me Now feat. DIAMANTE.mp3
#EXTINF:245,Remember When - 01 - Remember When
1.Top Music/Bad Wolves - Remember When.mp3
#EXTINF:275,Zombie - 01 - Zombie
1.Top Music/Bad Wolves - Zombie.mp3#EXTM3U
 

 

M3U is being placed in the root of the drive, and the songs  in the folder Music

Recently traded in my 2017 High Country for a 2024 High Country.
USB music played fine in the 2017. Put the same USB stick in the 2024, and the playlists are there, but don't have any songs?
I can see and play all the .mp3's by song. And I can see and select the playlist name, but there are mp3's associated to the playlists.
mp3's are in folders by genre, playlists at the root.
Any suggestions?

 

What program are people using for playlists? I'm using MP3 Tag, and it was working great until now.

#EXTINF:176,Sum 41 - Landmines

Omega One, did you ever get this working? I have a 2024 Chevy Silverado and can't get playlists to work. If you got it working I would love to know how you did it. Thanks.

I manually opened a foldered USB that had the following directory:

 

Artist > Album > Song

 

Then I created one Artist named Playlists > Playlist Name > Song

 

Then on the PC, I just copied the songs from the original directories to the Playlist folder.
