I'm glad I didn't waste much time trying to help this time then. Yes,
you must be right, all devices can now work with all partition table
types because magic.
It's not magic; it's standards. You seem to have missed my point. I
never said or implied that all devices can now work with all partition
table types because magic.
I simply said that anyone buying a USB stick would expect it to be
capable of working in a PC or player because (for example, Windows
only works with FAT 32 or efat).
It might be formatted with a GPT partition table when the car expects
MBR is probably the point Andrew was trying to make.
Regardless, it's a shame it doesn't support music playback through USB.
My car has a limitation where it can only see the first 100 or so tracks
I think, so trying to load the family's complete collection on to a USB
stick for it doesn't really work that well.
Best,
Hamish
