After a bit of puzzling, I found that the problem was every Transcend usb stick I have. They are all fine for mundane tasks and newfs_msdos makes it able to work on freebsd. My music player was picky and has something to say against. When I inserted old and forgoten Verbatim drive, without making f32, it presented itself and files were ready to play. Unbelievable. Yep, I did fdisk step after I posted the question. No go on Transcend. Might be hardware incompatibility or else. Btw, I always do just newfs on back up usb disks and never had any problem, so far, on freebsd. Once again, thank you for help. Zoran
