If the files are FLAC-encoded (lossless), that may be the issue. Try exporting the songs out as MP3 format and see if that addresses the issue.

I will try. They were imported as Apple lossless files.  I copied a few songs to a new flash drive 3.0 but there

was no choice of export option.  They just copied as regular files.  i dragged the song to the flash drive and

it copied to the drive.  The song plays fine on other computers.

 

Thanks

That option is not available on my Itunes. My computer (MAC) is too old to even update so maybe that is the 

reason. I did delete an imported CD and then reinstalled it as a MP3 instead of Apple Lossless and then copied

it to a flash drive and guess what it worked. So i guess the USB has to have at least MP3 files.  Do you think the people 

at GM would state this in the manual.  It's only a few lines of type. And GM itself was no help when i called. 

Perhaps they need smarter people working for them.

 

 

Thanks to all who helped me. Much appreciated.

Apple Music is the iTunes replacement on Mac. I have the latest, and the steps I linked you to work there.

Not trying to play music off a flashdrive but I am trying to use USB to play music. I am also not able to play music and it says “No USB Device Connected”. Has anyone found a fix for this?

Whatever you are attempting to connect via USB must be recognized as a "removable drive".  Plug the device into a computer - if it doesn't show up as a removable drive there, it isn't going to work in the truck.

Its doesn't matter what you do, GM has ALL USB and Apple Play devices shutdown while in motion. I have tried several different USB sticks with different formats, same issue. If you have apple play working, your cannot scroll through your music unless 1 you are stopped or 2 the vehicle is in park. Once moving, you can scroll a few tracks only...

 

I have a 2023 S Class, and a Model X Tesla that handle USB/Music and apple play flawlessly....it's not your audio hardware, it's the truck.

I have the opposite problem.

 

my dashcam needs a USB port to plug in, but it keeps thinking I’m connecting to a computer and won’t function. 
 

is there a way to make the USB connection “power only”?

Yes. They sell "data blocker" devices that will restrict connections on USB ports to ONLY the pins providing power. I have them in both the USB-A and USB-C style. While my dashcam doesn't need one, their use does allow my wife to charge her phone via cable without my Infotainment system trying to automatically set her phone up as linked to my truck...

What cab trim?

If it is rear seats and usb ports for the rear, they will be power only. 

 

What dashcam make/model?

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w

      I took a 12 second video on my iphone but the file is too big to upload. I will have to figure out how to extract the audio or just do another start with an audio recording.
