In the manual it shows that the way to sort the MP3s on a USB stick to stick in the Transit is:
Artist1
>Album1
>>Track1
>>Track2
>>Track3
>>Track4
>Album2
>>Track1
>>Track2
>>Track3
>Album3
>>Track1
>>Track2
Artist2
>Album1
>>Track1
>>Track2
etc etc
I've done this but the stupid bloody Ford stereo indexes the USB stick and (a) totally ignores the Album folder AND (b) plays the tracks in alphebetical order. WHY the hell would that be reasonable!!!
The only way I can actually find to play albums as albums AND in order is to add a four digit number at the start of EVERY filename so
Artist1
>Album1
0101 track name (track1 or album1)
0102 track name (track2 or album1)
0103 track name (track3 or album1)
0104 track name (track4 or album1)
0105 track name (track5 or album1)
>Album2
0201 track name (track1 or album2)
0202 track name (track2 or album2)
0202 track name (track3 or album2)
0202 track name (track4 or album2)
>Album3
0301 track name (track1 or album3)
0302 track name (track2 or album3)
0303 track name (track3 or album3)
0304 track name (track4 or album3)
Now THIS does make each artists tracks play in track order with each album together but (a) its an absolute and utter faff (b) it makes display look silly loosing 4 characters (c) the search doesn't work (d) you cannot jump to an album
So how the hell can I get the stupid stereo to play to:
a) play the tracks of an album in track number order
b) keep all the tracks for an album together
c) not have to mess about renaming stuff
The manual mentions two different modes track mode and album mode but there is no option I can find to change that.
Why can't it just work like EVERY other stereo I've used with MP3 files and that makes sense.
It's SO bad that I'm looking at replacements for a stereo in a brand new van.
