I'm writing this for a friend. She has a USB stick with some music on it that she made for her dance class and her instructor needs to just be able to plug it into whatever setup they have over there and have it play. She has done this before but now it's not working for some reason. I checked on my computer with my USB stick to see if I could do anything to help and I couldn't. Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

It is not easy to make this working "into whatever setup they have over there". To start with, AutoPlay feature is quite dangerous for removable media - it's a good way to introduce malware (viruses, Trojans etc). Then, it will only work for particular type of OS (eg will work on Windows, but not on Mac or Linux).

If she wants the "dumb-proof" solution - a boombox ;)
