Summary: Want to play any music on your Alfa Romeo Stelvio or Giulia? What you need to do is converting the music to Alfa Romeo media player compatible format such as MP3 and .wma transfer the output music files to your USB flash drive for listening in your car at any time.
Anyone else had difficulty with the Stelvio or Giulia media player? At first my USB stick played fine. It even played .wav files, which my previous car would not. But today it seems stuck, showing only one .m4a file and not playing it. I set it to search for Tracks. It seemed only to know about the one .m4a file. Then it did nothing for quite a while, as if seaching. After a long time the whole infotainment system re-booted on its own coming up on the color Alfa Romeo badge screen. It still won't play from the USB stick. Has anyone else had the media player misbehave? Do .m4a files hang it up? From www.stelvioforum.com
