mp3 tracks not playing in car through USB stick

[SR]

As the title says, I'm finding some tracks won't play.
The USB stick is FAT32 and all the music tracks are mp3 but a few tracks just won't play.
Driving me nuts!
Any help much appreciated.
Happy, healthy New Year one and all.

Probably best in the car related section of whatever car it is....what is it?

Are you stating some tracks play and others don't? Is it full albums or just individual tracks from an album? Are they all MP3 or are some M4A for example?

Many thanks for replying. It's just a few tracks that don't play in the car. Looking on my laptop, all tracks are mp3

Look deeper into the files, bit rate could be different, car won't play certain ones.

I had a similar issue... you’ve probably got a mixture of CBR and VBR mp3s on your stick. There are plenty of free converters around to make them compatible. You just need to know which your player will read. Mine reads Constant Bit Rate.

Doh!
Many thanks to you all but I’m a dic##head, the missing files were on the USB but had a blank space before the artist name so didn’t appear alphabetically!

Everyone loves a happy ending.
