I’d say the problem with music not playing over usb is down to the file structure. Basically the music files are too deeply buried within other files. Unlike MP3 players where the files are almost at root level (or on the surface).
Best bet would be to get a dirt cheap MP3 player or maybe even a Bluetooth receiver that can output over usb (if such a thing exists)
