Worked fine until about 3 months ago. Assume a software update broke this.
Have tested two different USB drives with FLAC files that I can read just fine on my PC.
Anyone else had this problem that knows how to fix it?

I've seen cases where the USB hub itself where you plug the USB into goes bad.

I can only report that I have FLAC music files on an Astell/Kern player and they will play through the MME system via Bluetooth and hi-res USB cable. However unlike CarPlay, the MME cannot display the AK player music menu. Means I have to select music from the player and not the MME touchscreen which will only show the song playing and let me skip or go back.
I had some FLAC tunes on an older iPad which wouldn’t play on either Bluetooth or via USB.

Tested the USB port and it is working fine with phone. Android Auto and charging work.
So I must assume that this is due to a software update.

I guess that I am in the minority in playing FLAC files off a thumb drive..
I guess I need to file a complaint with FORD on the deletion of this feature.
