Any way to use a micro SD card in touch screen head unit

I have an SD card and a USB stick that accepts SD card any way to use this for music in the frs? I have tried and haven't been able to figure it out. But a regular USB stick works fine

Is the SD card in the same (file system) format as the flash drive? FAT32 and not NTFS or APFS?

What format is the music? Also, the USB adapter stick itself might be seen as a drive and the SD card might not be seen at all by the head unit.

Is there a reason you need to use an SD card? Get a USB and be done with it.
