By reading the manual, we get the information that Cadillac supports MP3, WMA, AAC, OGG, AIFF, 3GPP audio formats playback from USB port. Although Cadillac is compatible with hot audio formats, it also requires the file to be encoded in the way that is recognized by your car or suv. We can get music of different formats in different ways. Obviously, WAV, FLAC, M4A, APE, AC3, MKA and MP2 are not on the supported file format list.
An audio format can be encoded by different codecs, this is why some supported audio formats still cannot be played successfully. Some MP3, WMA, ACC and OGG songs are not supported to play in your car due to the failure of reorganization. Through testing, we found that Cadillac has obvious defects in format compatibility. Such as we can't play some WMA in Cadillac CT4 from USB Flash Drive, Cadillac XT5 can't read OGG files from USB Stick, we can't listen FLAC, DTS and M4A with USB flash drive on all Cadillac models, etc. Unlike smart phones, we can't download and install music players into cars at will. Since Cadillac doesn¡¯t understand it, you will likely need to transcode the unsupported audio format to a different file type such as MP3.

Note:
You need to maintain a standard long file name format that allows for a total of 255 characters, including the file extension ( .wma, .flac or .mp3). An important part of the standard is avoiding command characters such as /, \, |, :, ?, ¡°, <, > and*. These characters may be misinterpreted by the system and result in a file being unreadable, or on extreme cases, cause the system to stop reading subsequent filenames. Therefore, you should ensure that your music files are in a playable format and are named correctly.
