I wrote that because that's what it says in my manual. This morning, I did some experimentation,, and it turns out my car only recognizes mp3 and wma as music files. No aac and no flac.
My next experiment is to try to decide whether wma sounds better than mp3 on my ML audio. With 70-year old ears .....

Transferred music files to usb
The system does load much quicker using USB Drive. I then wanted to play a journey song so I thought let me just scoll down the list. My system starts at A and as I am.scrolling through the Bs my sound system drops. That's why USB loads so quickly it's not a complete loading of the library.i also noticed once the library loads up it is not uncommon for the library to just drop all their just loaded library to load again. Because searching beyond a loaded file causes a system failure. I drove bmw, Porsche's and never ever had these issues

Folks with RX's starting in 2020 why not use the Carplay feature? I have about 100GB of music on my phone which consist of importing some CD's, digitized vinyl @256k along with itunes & amazon music downloads. The sound is pretty good except you can tell the difference in the vinyl which is a given. I made a phone playlist on my computer and synced the playlist. Am I missing something here beside just wanting to use an ipod that has some old music on it? I can understand that at least.

I stopped using my iPod in my car when I first purchased a car with Apple CarPlay (back in 2016). Before then, my iPod was my go-to source for music when driving. Still use my iPod when traveling by air (not recently, BTW) and when I am away from home (on the beach, for example). I find that headphones connected directly to the iPod give a much higher sound quality than Bluetooth headphones connected to my iPhone. To each, his own.
