I've found that some USB ports are more reliable than others for music.
The one in the front on the left side of the centre console console is best for me.
The one on the right side recognises the stick, but says there are no music files on it.
Using a 128GB Sandisk Ultra Fit (formatted to NTFS) in a USB A to USB C convertor.
Stick has combination of FLAC and MP3 files all in the root.

I was referring to reloading the files on my USB stick again.

Useful. Thankyou.
Will try the front left port, as currently using front right - with mixed results.
Rear ports don't work at all for us.

Interesting observation, and at the same time utterly ridiculous on the part of BMW. This should not be this hard...

Maybe I am doing something wrong. Have a 2025 X1 with idrive 9. Plugged in the Samsung USB-C into each one of four ports and got nothing.

I think data on the front USB-C ports was removed as a penny pinching move at some point recently. A bit like the glovebox light. I’m surprised they haven’t removed the passenger seat yet.
