If the Mini still refused to play ball then I'd start at the opposite
end: have a FAT32 USB stick with nothing but three MP3 files at the top
level. Don't let the MP3s be anything too exotic, like particularly
long. And have their filenames be simple, e.g. no spaces, and no
too unusual punctuation.
If the Mini likes that then add more variety in different dimensions
until something breaks.
Nothing ever works! I bought a new USB Stick with 16 GB of space for
this, because all the ones I have are USB A and the Mini only takes USB
C. When I plugged it in, it still didn't work, because the body of the
connector pushed through the shell instead of the connector going in to
the car! (It's a dual USB A / USB C device where the unused end folds
into the handle.) Then I damaged the shell trying to pull it back....
I'm sure that the flat file requirement was the original problem, but
now I can't even plug in the device. ;-(
I'm going to send the duff device back (bad design) and go elsewhere for
a new one.
