Format the stick as NTFS, then right-click on it and choose “Allow files on this drive to have contents indexed in addition to file properties.” Asking Groove Music to organize files on a USB stick formatted as FAT32 (recognized by just about everything on the planet, including car stereo systems) is problematic. I keep music files on a USB stick so the music doesn’t take up internal storage, and it’s transportable from computer to computer. (At least for now, you’ll need to convert FLAC files to Apple Lossless format.) Formatting Memory For comparison, iTunes supports MP3, AAC, AIF, Apple Lossless, Audible AA, WAV, and iTunes-purchased M4A and M4P files.

I too ran into these problems, so I checked out other music players and, unfortunately, found them lacking. Although originally designed for Microsoft’s ill-fated streaming service, it’s actually a very capable music player with one glaring flaw: there’s no real documentation, so the net is filled with threads (mostly unanswered) like “Groove Music not updating library,” “don’t know how to update Groove Music in Windows 10,” “can’t figure out how to reset Groove Music,” “how to fix Unknown Album problem,” “how to add custom artwork,” and the like - the list goes on. If you bought a Creation Station lately, then it has Windows 10 installed - and part of the operating system is the Groove Music player.
