Has anyone else had issues playing music via USB in UX 3.0? I haven't been able to consistently replicate this yet, but since upgrading to 3.0, USB play has failed several times after parking and returning some time later (could be 15 minutes or could be a few hours). Before UX 3.0, USB play was rock solid so it seems like it has to be tied to the new update. Ejecting and reinserting the USB solves the issue. Cycling between several audio sources solved the issue one time. Before I really dig in to this, I thought I would see if anyone else has also experienced this. I love how 3.0 now displays the USB content, I just wish I didn't have to keep fighting with it every time I exit the vehicle. Maybe it's a sign to renew my Tidal subscription. Thanks!
 
After a couple days of no issues, I've had music playing from a USB stick simply stop. I pulled the stick out, plugged it in again, and it resumed from the same place it stopped. Never saw this before this newest update. Will report to the software team. I like everything else about the display of music files.
 
Yes, I, too, am having issues with USB drive playback under 2.11.0. Everyt time I got in the car today, I've gotten the message "no active media". Disconnecting and reconnecting the USB drive brings functionality back.
 
Based on today's experience, it's possible this bug could be tied to using navigation. As expected, it stopped playing completely about 5 minutes into my trip and I got the same "no active media" message. But once I returned home and the car announced I had reached my destination, I was able to get the system to recognize the USB and load all of the songs without ejecting/reinserting the USB. Pretty sure I just clicked over from USB1 to USB2 or something similar. I will try to see if I can replicate this with my next trip and/or see what happens when I am not using navigation.
 
Music experience seems to be deteriorating. Today made a few short trips and when I got in the car got the no active media message again. Took the USB stick inside and it played fine on my computer. Ran a disk test on it and it appeared healthy. Plugged it in again, and it showed a couple of folders with nothing in them.

Unplugged stick and things started after I plugged it in again. Got back in car after another stop and what I was playing did not resume. 'No active media' message again.

So something was gone wrong between version 2 and 3. It's a shame because I love the larger display of media. Search works. It's all good. But it seem to go wonky almost every drive now. I really prefer my own music to streaming, as cellular is not always great, and the UB stick gives me lot's of music reliably. At least until now. I've filed a report with Lucid.
