Issue with formatting USB stick

[VivRichards]

Few days before I purchased a USB stick through which I can play music into my car stereo. The USB should be formatted with MS-Dos. I was having some disk utility. Using the disk utility I have formatted the USB stick. This has created another partition and saying that the device is formatted with Mac operating system Extended. The stick has been formatted successfully completed. After when I inserted the USB stick into my stereo it displays an error message saying that the USB is in the wrong format.
