A couple of thoughts: were you able to plug the usb stick into your computer and listen to the music off of it? when you plugged it into your C7, did you select the source (usb) from the audio options in your Infotainment screen?May I verify please: I copied some music from iTunes onto a 4 GB USB stick: according to the above, it will not play in my C7? Instead the solution is to just plug in my iPod, correct? Thanks. Old guy here.
Yes, I tested sons on USB while in my computer. I will try in my Corvette tomorrow. I made a special playlist to celebrate the car, and plan on making a duplicate as a gift to my friend with a black, identical C7 convertibleA couple of thoughts: were you able to plug the usb stick into your computer and listen to the music off of it? when you plugged it into your C7, did you select the source (usb) from the audio options in your Infotainment screen?
When you say you copied some music, what file formats was the music in. You might need to export the music to MP3 files. The info below is right out of the ‘15 Infotainment Manual and discusses the file formats needed.May I verify please: I copied some music from iTunes onto a 4 GB USB stick: according to the above, it will not play in my C7?

Thanks, according to this article, iTunes songs are in AAC format. So, they should play on the Corvette?When you say you copied some music, what file formats was the music in.

Ok,Not sure if the vette is "smart" enuf to decode AAC format. Why not convert them to MP3? (bet thats in the manual) Yes, connected USB devices should play straight away... assuming the car recognizes the ipod... I have decent luck with bluetooth on my galaxy... not sure why urs is "fussy".
PS: The manual makes no mention of any other format than MP3
Interesting on "indexing"-- I will give that a go. Thanks for your kind help everyone! Will report results.I believe Racer_X is right. I have a micro USB plugged in behind the display and it took quite a while to "index" the 1700+ songs on it. All are MP3 format.
