A few of my songs are in MPEG-4 protected format and, of course, will not play using a USB stick drive. I have written Chevrolet Customer Support to add that format through a software update, if possible. If I play music directly from my iPhone with the proper connector, this is not a problem.

You can play the protected Mpegs or AAC files through an authorized device like Ipod or Iphone but you cannot copy it and play it from a flash drive. That is copyright infringement and there is nothing Chevy can do about it. You can convert the protected AAC or Mpeg files into non protected files (Burn it to a CD and rip it in a non protected format using the authorized computer!) and you should be able to copy it into any media and play it on any player capable of playing the Mpeg files. I do not believe Chevy will release any software updates to over ride the protected content unless they want to get sued by RIAA or Apple.

If your Ipod shuffle is one of the authorized device to play protected AAC or Mpeg files then you should not have any problems playing protected files. Simply plug the Ipod Shuffle into the USB port and it should work fine but you have a 3 inch device sticking out of the USB Port which can be problematic. Just convert all the files to non protected Mpeg files, load it to a tiny flash drive like a Sandisk Cruzer Fit which sticks out less than a quarter inch, almost the size of a USB receiver for your mouse. Problem solved. I have one plugged into all my cars and I can listen to my collection in any of my cars I am driving for the day.

I've been using ipods but for some reason, they aren't working right. My music is from itunes on my computer and are in playlist format, but I don't believe the drives will list the playlists on the infotainment screen, in order to chose what you want, is this correct? I have over 58GB of music on my ipods.

I have tried to burn a CD from Spotify by using some 3rd party tool called Tunelf Spotify Music Converter then burn Spotify Music to CD via iTunes.Works perfectly on my car,I can enjoy higher quality music on my way.
