Okay, we know the Tucson's don't have a CD player any longer, so...I reached out to a guy in another state who will make me a flash drive with my favorite music on it. Question, does anyone know if it will play using the USB drive? What I've found is that you plug it in, and click 'media' and select tunes on the flash drive from there, correct?

Yes, I guess so. Like I said, I had 3 devices plugged into a 4 port USB device and it saw the one in the first port.

Alan,....Have you tried one of those dual port charger inserts that fit into the cigarette lighter? I have tried that as well,....also to no avail!
Not sure I understand the question. The cig lighter socket doesn't pass data, it just provides power.
Alan
True Alan,....but,...they make a device that sits in there,...it has either a one slot, or, two slot USB for charging devices. In our Sportage,.....I would plug my USB music thumb drive into it, and, it would start playing my songs. In the Tucson,.....nothing!! Just as the USB slots already there!
Yes, I have one of those with two USB charging ports and 2 cig lighter ports. But I still don't get how a USB flash drive can get data into the car from a central cig lighter socket.
Alan
Neither do I,...but,...it seemed to work in our Sportage! Oh well! Thanks for your time and input, Alan. Much appreciated!
Would you mind sharing what brand/type you used, please?

Just wanted to add zero problem playing any of my Memory sticks from the data port on my SEL Tucson.
Also how is not having the newer USB C input really any kind of problem? Keep a cable right there in the car with the USB "A" on one end and the "C" on the other and plug your phone into it.

It’s a problem because USB-C isn’t just a different connector; it also provides Power Delivery … more intelligent handshaking with the device to optimally provide faster charging. Another improvement, beyond that smaller, more robust reversible connector, is significantly faster transfer speed (up to 10 Gbps).
Perhaps it’s exactly this lack of awareness of what the USB-C standard brings that Hyundai is counting on.

Maybe because you assume you know more than others it makes you miss the real point. There are already two ways to fast charge so not having a USB C port is not preventing that. Next, what transfer of files is there between a device and the Hyundai Infotainment system that would make things faster with a "C" data port?
Well, that got NASTY FAST!!! Lol
To be clear, my comment was about Hyundai counting on there being insufficient knowledge of the later technologies, not you or anyone in particular, so you can slow your roll, fella.
Anyone who has done an Infotainment update has had the experience that it takes up to 40 mins in-car to complete. With the max speed of a USB-C port at 10 Gbps, this is double the speed compared to the previous generation (5 Gbps), or 20 times the max speed of USB 2.0 (480 Mbps). Even a simple speed doubling would cut that time down to a much more tolerable 20 mins.
As far as charging, Apple says for my iPhone 12 Pro, Power Delivery via USB-C is 3 times faster than anything achievable over USB-A and more than twice as fast as wireless MagSafe charging.
Now do you see what I mean about Hyundai counting on the public not knowing?!
The port in the car is probably only USB2. It will be a standard chipset sourced externally and done as cheaply as possible. Which is also probably why it only supports one device as well - that's how it was years ago and they haven't changed it (it was like that in my BMW X3 of 2016 and my BMW 320 of 2013).
It is what it is - let's just live with it.

No doubt you're right @Alan Sh about it being implemented with single client legacy USB2. Definitely nobody will desolder & replace the USB chipset from their Tucson just to connect multiple devices and get faster charging, so of course we have no choice but to "just live with it"!
I'm under the impression that we are all here, to share information and hopefully glean some, in return.
So when someone says "Also how is not having the newer USB C input really any kind of problem?", I take that as an opportunity to provide information and context to enlighten that person, particularly when I've opined that the absence of it is somehow materially deficient. I certainly didn't expect my explanation to be met with vitriol, but I suppose not everyone's on an even playing field.
Here's a link on Reddit discussing which cars have been implemented with USB-C (dating back to MY 2018), showing many 2020 models with this feature. This is why I believe it's a serious omission in the 2022 Tucson, actively marketed by Hyundai as a technology showcase.
If nothing else, I hope I've provided factual and supportive information on why USB-C is desirable.
Completely agree - one type A and another type C in the centre stack, concurrently data-capable would be ideal!
I've got a USB stick with a lot of plays on - all nicely ordered into folders and all with the correct meta data.
However, when I reach the end of a play, which is generally one part of a multi part series, I hit next on the steering wheel and it goes to another random play in a different folder. I have to put it on 'media' get a list of the tracks and then touch the next one in the series (they display in the correct order on the screen) to go to the correct next track.
Does anyone know how I can find out what governs the 'next' track to be played?
Cheers

I have a lot of folders, but I have them hierarchical (most important info at the top like Genre followed by Artist - Trying to keep it somewhat simpler). So I can go to a top level folder like say Rock and then on the screen it will show Rock at the to and a bunch of folders below that are either artist or artist album depending on how I wanted it. But the key is two screen buttons on the right side of the screen. The top one looks like a oval race track (that is repeat), or an oval the a folder sitting on it (repeat folder). The lower left button is two crossing lines (shuffle). At the upper right side of screen it will show two numbers (file # / total files in the selection I chose). So if I go to the highest level and shuffle, every song on the usb will play in random order. Go into a sub folder and I can play an album straight through or shuffle, depending on how I have those soft switches set. Takes some getting used to, but that works for me. YMMV
