it appears my problems have worsened since i upgraded to w10. my usb3 ports no longer recognise my new memory stick, so i have had to use the usb2 ports instead.
i have just reformatted the stick (took absolutely ages).
just trying to rip my first album to it, now.
did all this yesterday apart from the reformat and it was a mess when connected to my headunit. 4 albums i ripped and out of the 4 only one worked as it should(albeit with the album art missing). 2 album folders were empty and the other just showed as "unknown".

I don't mean to sound flippant but, welcome to Windows 10. (OK maybe a little flippant)
It is strange that the USB isn't being recognised. That should be a pretty basic thing for Windows by now, I know the only time I've had any trouble is if I use the USB stick for a Linux installer. Perhaps a previous format didn't quite take and left you with some bad sectors. A full format(as opposed to quick)should fix that. If the format you did took a long time then it should be full format and hopefully that problem will be sorted.
Out of curiousity what brand USB stick do you have? Do you have another to try? - just to see if it works any better
Are you ripping directly to the USB or to your HDD first? I'd recommend ripping to the hardrive and copying the files to the USB afterwards.

I'd recommend ripping to the hardrive and copying the files to the USB afterwards. I have downloaded and installed the correct usb drivers from asus for w10, but that made no difference. when I plug the stick in the light continues to flash as though its being used by a program. it keeps appearing and disappearing on file explorer. it becomes impossible to "safely remove" and I just end up pulling it out. if I then plug in to usb2 port it is recognised, but windows says it "has a fault". I follow prompts to repair, windows then scans and says no fault found. any subsequent plug ins to usb2 are fine. the stick is brand new and I am tempted to return it, but it worked ok on w7. I have been ripping straight to usb so may try that next. last night I loaded ripped a different 4 albums direct to stick, but have not tried them yet.

If you want to waste some time and start from scratch, again, download this tool and reformat the USB. filehippo.com/download_hp_usb_disk_storage_format_tool/This HP tool has been the most reliable one for formatting I've found so far - I've been using it since I first got my X3. Maybe exchanging it for a different one would be a good idea to consider, just for piece of mind if anything. There are tools you can download for testing USB/SD cards too. If you run into any files that won't play properly and have online storage (dropbox, gdrive, I believe W10 offers free onedrive space) post a link to them and I'll have a look myself and see if I can find anything. If you don't have online storage, just send me a PM and I'll give you my email and you can send a couple files if you want.

it appears the usb problem may not be with my new stick. even after a full format my front usb3 sockets struggle to recognise the stick. I forgot I had some usb3 sockets on rear of my case, works fine in those. oddly though, my selection of old usb sticks all seem fine in the front usb3 ports.
i may try some new usb3 ports to the front and see how that goes, i would imagine they are fairly cheap.
