Motormouth: Why won't song titles show up in car?

Q: New cars do not seem to have CD players, including my 2019 Hyundai Sonata, so I copied more than 2,000 songs from the 1940s (I am 87) on a 128 GB thumb drive and the screen shows “No title No info” when I insert the thumb drive. The dealer said he doesn’t have a clue. Do you?

J.B., Monument, Colorado

A: You didn’t mention what application you used to copy the CD music (CDA files) to your thumb drive. In order to play, they must be converted to a different format. Unless you use Microsoft Media Player or other conversion software, the song titles may not copy over. You may see only labels like track 01 or track 02, for instance.
