That happens to me sometimes when playing music from my phone! usually when i plug it in before i turn the car on. I just unplug it and plug it back in that seems to work most of the time

I had that problem with a SONY thumb drive. The real problem ended up being in my computer though. My computer was not "finishing" or closing the thumb drive properly. I tried over and over to delete and reinstall the music files. It just never did finish it right. I finally bought a new drive, added the music, let the computer finish (you know, you hit "safely remove hardware" and let the computer say "safe to remove hardware"). Now everything works perfect.
I would check the book though and see if these systems will work with a 60GB drive. That just sound overly HUGE for a thumbdrive. I think I would reccomend a smaller drive like 4GB or maybe 8GB.

I've used a 32gb flash drive in my Sonic without an issue. It was formatted as FAT32. The 2500 limit of song titles definitely is there. You will hit the song title limit long before you run out of physical space on a 32gb flash drive. If you want to carry around more than 2500 songs, you'll need multiple flash drives, and as cheap as they have become, that isn't a expensive proposition. I bought several 8gb and 16gb flash drives for use in the vehicle.
Like mentioned by another member, be sure you click on 'safely remove hardware and eject media' instead of just yanking out the USB drive when done dragging and dropping while connected to your PC. Most times, you won't have any problems, but every now and then Windows will not finish closing the session until you do so.
