USB drive capacity

[Dracoart]

I have the 2013 Gen Coupe 3.8 Track and I need to know how many audio files can be read through the USB.
I have both a 120 gig WD Passport and a 1 terabyte WD Passport both formatted to Fat32 and the system recognizes both of those drives, but only sees a portion of the files. I put about 60 gig of music on the drives, but the system is only seeing about half of that. Is there a limit to how many files the system will recognize? I'd like to put about 260 gig of music on a drive!

I had the same idea as yours only difference is I tired with an 128 GB SSD drive. The car would not detect the SSD. I tried formatting to a smaller capacity until it would see it, It was about 32 GB.

The ultimate solution is to get access to spotify wirelessly and stream music on demand no storage size restrictions ever. #spotifyareulistening

loading time onto thumbstick, copying time, figuring what to load/dump onto drive, all gone! Search for the music and thats it.

And now for those of us not savvy enough (or electrotechnically with it) can you translate that?

Even if the limit is 32Gig, why would you need more music? At 32Gig you could do LA to NY three times and not listen to the same tune twice ...

I loaded a 8Gig stick with ripped CD's and downloaded music on my computer, I think 13 hours worth, still have space on the stick. MP3's don't use much room, even at a high quality setting.

Just to mention, I'm impressed by the reception that the FM radio gets in the Genny. Much more range than either my Camry or Corvette!!

Happy listening to you ...... RonJ

The only problem with that is you would need a streaming device with an unlimited plan which many people don't have now. I'd blow through my 4gig of data in no time!

I got one of these PNY 128GB Flash Drives from Amazon and copied about 4000 mp3s onto it.

It reads fine in the USB port and sounds great. I have the files organized into folders by artist. My only complaint is that scrolling through the list of 300+ folders is a pain. I wish you could jump to a letter, or even jump to the end of the directory easily. If there is a way to do that, I haven't found it.

The limit on my 2012 sedan with standard audio system is 5000 files. Got a new 2013 Santa Fe, and it's upped that to 8000 supposedly.

By the way, anyone else find it a pain that the system "forgets" it's in random (shuffle) mode when turned off or switched to another audio source and then switched back to USB? Major bug in my opinion.

I find several things about the way the system handles USB files to be a pain. The most annoying is that there seems to be no way to rapidly move up or down a list of folders. If you want to go to the folder of an artist in the Ws, you have to page down the entire folder list in blocks of 8 or so to get there. The other annoying and related thing is that after you have gotten to that artist in the Ws, played those files, and then gone back to the folder list, you go back to the top of the list instead of back to where you left off so you have to scroll all the way back down again to get to the next artist who's name starts with W. These would seem to be simple programming changes Hyundai could do in a software upgrade to make the system easier to use. It would be nice, at the very least, if paging up with the stick when you are at the top of the folder list would move you down to the very end of the list.

I don't know the limit of the USB capacity that the Genny will recognize, but, if 32gig isn't enough, buy another 32gig and another 32gig..... they're less than $20/ea..... problem solved....... and you really have 260gig of music??????

I have a 2011 Genesis Coupe Grand Touring and it appears that 16GB may be the limit? I'm using a 32GB flash drive and it doesn't seem to read over 16GB. Anyone have any more info on this? Thanks!
