Windows 10: MP3 music syncing with WMP

Hi: I am trying to transfer a playlist of MP3s music to a thumb drive for playback in my Honda 2013 sound system via an USB receptacle jack. With the Play tab selected in WMP, I selected all songs and dragged to the Playlist righthand panel. Then selected the Sync tab. Clicked the Start Sync button. Observed that transfer had started and completed. I thought I was doing a proper sync, but when I plugged the thumb drive into my car's audio system and attempted USB playback, an error message appeared that said ... no data on device... When viewing the files on the thumb drive with File Manager, I see several subfolders with titles of song artists' names. Obviously, my effort did not succeed. What should I have done? I am now redoing my above steps with a different thumb drive. The syncing is 80% completed. ( BTW, just prior to all this I reformatted the two thumb drives that I am now using. ) __________________________________________________________________________________________ Edit: The 2nd thumb drive content is the same as on the 1st thumb drive. That leads me to believe that the device format is incorrect. I used File Manager to reformat these devices, and I think it was to a FAT format. Is there another requirement when formatting for MP3 files?

syncing music from windows 10 to mp3 player.

The link on this page leads to "download Windows Media Player 12". It does not lead to "article to sync the device with ...".

You can use WMP 12 to sync to an MP3 player.

If you are syncing to a high capacity MP3 player. WMP 12 will automatically sync your whole music library.

If you have a limited capacity player you can manually drag albums to the sync window and initiate the sync.

Connect your MP3 player to your computer. (See connecting USB 2 device to USB3 port below if necessary.)

Using Windows Media Player 12, go to the right hand window. Click the Sync tab above the window. Click the "list" icon in the tool bar in the sync window. Select "set up sync".

Follow the prompts.

Drag the albums or music to the "Sync list" (for limited capacity devices).

Click the "Start Sync" button.

Connecting USB 2 MP3 player to USB 3 ports:

Plug and Play often does not work.

1 Turn your computer off.

2 Connect the USB 2 device to the USB 3 port.

3 Start your computer.

Enjoy!
