USB to AUX 3.5mm

Good Morning Folks

can anyone help me out here , I have tried plugging in my MP3 player to the USB port on the right side in the center console the Command doesnt recognize it is there a special USB to AUX cable from MB that I need to purchase?

I am just using a standard USB to AUX converter, I keep all my FLACS on the MP3 player as the SD Media card wont recognize them, any ideas

Put them on your phone as local files and then access them via the Spotify app (enable local files in settings). Create a playlist and just play them from Spotify.

Also could try a thumb drive maybe?

Thank you so much, after experimenting with different file formats that I copied to the SD Card on the Dash I found out that it will play WAV Files
completely by luck I noticed that a WAV file was playing , as I do want to keep my files lossless , from there it was easy I just converted all my FLACs to WAV and they play fine, this after messing with MP3 players plugged into that 2nd USB port on the right and also using Flash Drives so for now apparently is all fine on to the next venture.

how to get more BASS out of the HK system as it seems to be lacking on the low end, I am thinking of just getting a plate subwoofer and putting it under the seat as I have done this before on my other cars that lack BASS, unless there is a better quicker option as I dont want to be cutting wires.

again thank you , I just didnt want to use my phone to store my music files.
