[mdlug] My Jeep ate my audio files

[Michael Corral]

Yes, sounds like *somebody* didn't read the manual for their Jeep's media 
player.

My Fiat 500 uses the Blue & Me infotainment system by Microsoft, so 
because that's a Microsoft product I made sure to read the manual before 
trying to play media files on it. I ended up putting a bunch of MP3 files 
and playlists on a 64GB USB stick formatted with exFAT, and I plug that 
into my car's USB port. It works well, and all the playlists are 
recognized. No problems since I bought the car in 2014. Some Jeep models 
(e.g. Compass) were built on a Fiat platform and so they share some of 
the same components. The Blue & Me system in my car does not support MTP 
via USB, just mass storage. So if R Kannan's Jeep uses that system then 
that might help explain what happened. If his Jeep uses another system 
then it could still be a similar issue with MTP.
