Unsure what you mean by "convert". I "THINK" the problem is a file system problem. If you have all of your music in the "root" of the USB stick (no subdirectories) there is a file limit. I'm not sure if that is a FAT or head unit issue.

If you have them organized in directories like \Band\Album\Tracks I THINK your problem will be solved. Can you find the manual for your head unit? It may tell you if there are any restrictions regarding USB storage.

I forgot to mention mine is organized by genre as well.

Blues\Sonny Boy Williams\Album\Track # Track Name
Lounge\yada yada yada

Pain in the butt, but try organizing your stick with a folder structure, see if that fixes your problem.
