How to play music in your Hyundai? The latest Hyundai models now boast Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, meaning you can bring your entire music library along for the drive and stream millions of tracks from your favourite apps - no need for AUX cables any more. You can also stream music from your smartphone wirelessly via Bluetooth, or play it from a USB flash drive. Compared to others, play music in your Hyundai car or SUV from USB flash drive is highly recommended. We can flexibly update the songs in the USB drive, and customize the playback order by changing the song name. The most important thing is that we don't have to touch the screen of electronic devices to avoid unnecessary safety hazards.
Here are some issues encountered by users.
The car stereo doesn't recognize the USB storage device or an error displays when attempting to play music.
"Hyundai skipping certain MP3 on USB drive I have a Hyundai Creta 2022. I plug in a USB drive with MP3 files on it. All the files are MP3 type but certain songs are just skipped. It will display on the console for maybe 1-2 seconds without playing and just skip to the next song. If I manually try to skip back to that song, it displays on the console and then skips back again as if ignoring that file. This happens from specific songs but all of them are mp3... so I'm not sure what's happening."
"Hyundai usb audio format not working Hi, I got a Tucson from late 2023. I would usually plug my USB flash drive via the usb port and manage my music with the knob. But for the last few days, the screen would still access and display what's on the USB disk but won't play it for some reason. Is there any possible cause and how to resolve? Thanks!"
"My Hyundai Venue 2023 can not play songs from USB. Every USB drive, it's the same few songs. But if I use Android Auto it is fine. The problem is that USB cannot recognize audio files from other sources. Some players couldn't play MP3 with a certain decoding, try to look/make another mp3 file and replace the ones that could not be played. Should I convert the songs to Tucson USB supported audio format?"

Solution: Convert your media to Hyundai usb format
If your digital music files are encoded in a format that your car stereo doesn't recognize, then it won't play them. So if you plug a USB flash drive into your head unit and nothing happens, that's the first thing to check. The easiest solution is to find the owner's manual for the head unit to see what types of files it can play, and then compare that list to the actual file types on the USB drive. If a manual isn't easily available, the same information should be available via the manufacturer's website.
