2024 silverado 1500 USB music issue

99silveradoz71 · July 9

I had a USB flashdrive I burnt all my cds and music on that I used in my 16 Silverado without problems. Since putting it in my 24, it will just keep scrolling a list of song titles/tracks without playing anything. Any thoughts?

Did you wait a long time to allow it to index? My new 2014 LTZ took forever.

Ah, so it may be building the library or list of songs? I'll try switching to usb and waiting to see if it just needs time to load them.

You could test it with another usb that has a small number of music files

^That makes perfect sense. I'll give that a try for starters.

it will read Apple Lossless files but NOT while you are driving. GM has locked down music searching on USB drives AND apple play. Plays fine while stopped and in park. It may let you scroll SOME files but not all...Waiting on the company that made the video in motion harness to crack the google HU.

This is the most annoying thing ever. Defeats the purpose and drives you towards using online sources and of course GM onstar plans.

Agreed, totally unnecessary. Obviously someone sued GM and they are protecting themselves now.

I have a 32Gig thumb drive with about 3000 songs I use plugged into the console USB outlet. It plays all my mp3 files great.

The complaint I have is it won't recognize genre. Only albums, songs, etc. It's Ok though, the music is in folders(60s,70s,80s, etc.) so it just shuffles through them all. Can always hit the NEXT button on the steering wheel.

I have 3K+ songs on my phone. The phone is paired to the truck. The android app I have on the phone works great, but the songs and/or the metadata do not show up on the truck. I keep the phone app on shuffle so it's a pretty simple matter to just use the Next button on the wheel to skip a song. Anything I want to do that is more specific or detailed than that has to be done on the phone. Other than that it works great.

My 2024 gmc skips on usb I have a lot of music on flash drive and it worked well but Gm put out an update to fix radio problems now it skips more and it mixed some of albums together tried renaming a couple of albums which were greatest hits to see if that helped but it didn’t
