Here's my issue, I recently bought a new head unit (To be specific, its a JVC KD-BT1) that has a USB port on it. I loaded music on to my 8 GB USB flash drive and plugged it into the head unit.
All of MP3 and WMA files that I have ripped from CD (all original CDs, not burned ones) cause a skipping sound, almost like the head unit can't stream the music at a good rate from the flash drive.
MP3 files that I have downloaded (read: not ripped from CD) work fine. The head unit plays these with no issues.
I know I could just download music, but I have tons of CDs that I want to rip, it'd be easier if I could use those.
So how do I make my files from CD work without skipping?

I did a little further research, under the properties for the two files, the 'Audio Sample Rate' is 44kHz for both, but the 'Bit Rate' is different for both. The downloaded MP3s have a bit rate of 221 kbps versus the ripped ones are 128 kbps.
So could the question be how I change the bit rate when ripping audio from CD?
Also, I streamed all the files from the flash drive on my laptop and all sound fine.

Your scenario doesn't seem to make sense though. The downloaded one have a higher bit rate thus making the file larger. I don't see why the 128kbps ones won't play just fine. You can change the bit rate using the program you're using to rip the files. Maybe it's the program you're using to rip the files. What are you using?

^you should know variable in the sense it takes less space.
basically the more complicated the sound the more information it takes right? so lets say there are some slow parts of just voice and no background music might take 60kbps until a huge drum comes in and it will spike to 150kbps and back down when things quiet down, etc.
fixed bit rates will use 128kbps whether there is no noise or more than it can handle.

Try cdex on a fixed bit rate and it'll probably solve your problem.
