Hello, I have ripped a bunch of CDs using Windows Media Player to wav format. They are on a USB drive that I plugged into Sync, which then promptly indexed them. That's when I realized that WMP doesn't apply ID3 tags to wav files. All the info is listed as "unknown". So I installed mp3tag and applied all the tags to all the files. Unfortunately, plugging the USB drive back in did nothing because Sync had already indexed everything. So, I don't know if it's not recognizing the tags or just not re-indexing the drive. Is there a hidden file or folder containing the index information on the drive and can I just delete that? Or, is there a way to tell Sync to re-index the drive? Or, will Sync never recognize ID3 tags for wav files no matter what? I'm not sure of my version of Sync, but I have a 2013 Focus SE. It has the latest firmware that I installed about 6 months ago. Thanks for any information.

Hi. I am able to play .mp3 with no problem. The things is I pay extra for Flac which I understand Sync doesn't play. But everywhere I look including Ford Sync Support, WAV should work. I want lossless format which WAV is. So I convert my Flac files to Wav and Sync doesn't like it. I tried with an 8GB flash drive and a 32GB. One was Fat32 and the other exFat. Same issue. Each time Sync will see the song titles, not the Artist or Album even though that info is in the file, but pick any song and no go. Says unsupported or corrupt. I used Audacity to do the conversion which is a good program. Don't have a CD right now to try and burn to Wav rather than the Flac to Wav process. For what it's worth, the Flac to Wave on my PC plays the Wav. files. Tried to play these Wav files in another car with the exact same interface. I have a Taurus and they have a Fusion. No play.
