USB with Apple downloaded music on it not recognised by car player

I have copied over music from my MacPro onto a USB stick and whilst it all appears to be on the USB drive it doesn't play when I plug it into my car stereo which is telling me there is nothing on the USB. Any thoughts on this?


MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.14
