Latest update has definitely changed the sort order logic again... near as I can tell, everything is sorted alphabetically by system FILENAME, rather than metadata now? Is this consistent with what others are seeing?
This may not have been a good test. Looking over my USB stick on the computer it appears that all the albums/folders I had tested had a numeric track order number as a unique part of the name. So it may be that they are sorted by alpha. This would mean that you would have to have all of your track names somehow pretended/addended with a track order alpha sequence. When I rip mine with DBPowerAmp it appears to do just that.
Not that I am aware of. There is no concept of playlists or playing multiple albums in a set unless you somehow tagged them as one album, and then that kind of defeats the point of an album.Late to this thread. I'm playing albums from artist view, which is fine, but is there no way to have it continue to the next album after the current one is done? I only see repeat this song and repeat this album..
USB Gremlins persist in 2019.20.4.2 (with the same <7K MP3 VBR tracks on an SSD I've been using for months)
Went out to my MS this morning, opened the door and no USB music, so no joy to begin my day. MP USB was dead: Album art showing a gray note symbol, no track text and all gray controls, except for a black BACK button that would not respond. The rest of the CID appeared operational. Needed to get on the road and didn't want to wait for a full reboot, so just before I backed-out, tried a quick reboot holding only both wheel buttons (which generally kicks MP in the you-know-what to get going again) -- oddly, it took a lot longer than normal to finally get the Tesla T, but I thought all might be fine when it finally appeared ...but no. Waited a few minutes for the CID to get itself going, but USB never appeared as a MP source. Physically unplugged/plugged-in my SSD from the USB port and rescan began, ultimately allowing me to play my USB tunes once again.
I have not had that sort of problem in a very long time, but hey, I have a new ToyBox that I have not even opened!
Happy (early) 4th of July to all my fellow USB Music Lovers!

I have not played with favorites for a long time. Implementation last time I used it had them stored in CID RAM where they disappeared upon full reboot -- so, just not very useful to me. Tesla has changed things over time as to what remains in NVRAM and not, so this may have changed again in recent times -- even so, it's beyond our complete control when Tesla's "boot logic" may be applied and wipe out some unknown amount of data during a firmware update or unexpected auto reboot. (E.g. Earlier on, Tesla kept previously scanned album art in RAM between basic boots -- just like favs; to wipe it out, you had to do what I call a full reboot -- foot on the brake version; but that then changed again so it never seemed to be wiped out until memory was full or a different USB device and/or directory structure was put in place to essentially cause MP to disassociate old art from tracks and eventually discard them -- but I found sometimes an unexpected reboot would wipe the data out -- just in an inconsistent-to-me manner I could never explain.)I had the same issue but on an early build of 20.4.4, had new firmware pushed out, ditched the USB Y splitter and plugged in directly. All is good mostly. USB Favorites lost, had like 1k+ over months saved.
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE SHARE WHERE EXACTLY IS USB FAVORITES SAVED AND HOW TO RECOVER!!!
THIS IS JUST THE WORST.
Got an update to 2019.24.4.73 and now my USB music is not starting up properly at least half of the time. I would guess the car is not waking up properly. By accident, I found out that if the USB music does not start up properly a reboot using the 2 scroll wheels will get it to do so. The really weird thing was that before I figured this out, I restarted the USB music and since I was starting over, I picked a different folder to play music out of. The new music played for about 10 minutes before I decided that I would do a reboot. I was at a stop light so I had not shut the car down yet. When the car finished it's reboot, the music came back on using the folder and track that it should have started with when I first got into the car. In other words, it did not go back to what I was just then playing, it went back to the folder and track that it originally should have been playing when I first got into the car.
Hope I explained that well enough.
So I got to my destination and had lunch. When I got back into the car 45 minutes later, the USB music once again did not start on its own. I gave it plenty of time to do so, because I have seen where sometimes it takes a little while for it to get its act together and play properly. I then rebooted the car and the music started back at the proper place.
Full reboots did not fix the problem. I am 0 for 3 for the USB player to start up after the full reboot.
I also noticed something else. The first 2 times the USB player did not start up, I rebooted again, but nothing happened. No music.
The 3rd time when the USB player did not start, I started the USB player with a different folder and then rebooted. In that case the USB player started up on the original folder (not the new folder) and where the music had left off before.
Just noted something else, I probably should have seen it before. The media player appears to be defaulting to TuneIn. This is despite the fact that I never have used it and do not have an account.
Right. In that regard, delete nav history and ensure minimal phone contacts as well. One other thing your suggestion brings to mind is I wonder if “1000 favorites” @Sparrow had marked is also consuming a bunch of memory — hard to say since we don’t know exactly how Tesla is retaining the in-memory pointers and meta with the physical USB device... and with Tesla’s “improved” method awhile back (I suspect) to speed up scans by not eliminating metadata with a full reboot, that old fav tagging may be sticking around. Only way I believe he could get rid of that would be the trick with faking-out the scan/rescan logic by changing the high-level directory name and/or track names, and inserting a USB device that does not appear to match what was inserted before... If @Sparrow works his way through my suggestions above, I hope that will also get rid of any left over favorite tagging that is reducing available memory.In other threads re browser performance, a solution in older Ss is to delete all past nav destinations. Your S stores them forever and they take up much space. I wonder if that would also help with USB issues. More cache space can only help!
