Shuffling Songs via the USB

Kevin99, it goes through the albums in alphabetical order by song.

Then you need to operate on your phone, right?
Can spotify run from the browser in car??

Yes it runs off of your phone.

Anyone with software 5.0 know if this feature (finally) got added? I still can't believe you can't shuffle the USB, how hard can that be?

Sadly, no. At least nothing that I've found so far.

I can't believe Tesla still has handled this wish list item. Not having a decent media player is really weak for this grade of car. I can by an aftermarket stereo at Best buy for under $100 that can at least browse an iPhone, shuffle songs, fast forward, etc. it can't be that hard to program if even cheapo car stereos do it.

While there have been some functionality improvements over the past year in the software - most of the software changes appear to have been related to better battery energy management (sleep mode) and the air suspension system.

Version 6 appears to be the next major improvement in functionality - and hopefully we'll see Tesla make significant gains in both the navigation and audio system functionality...

Sadly in many programming languages we're talking about a single line of code to shuffle. Of course there's the button to control it but not having a shuffle option should be embarrassing someone. Didn't the first iPod have shuffle?

Even my 32MB Diamond Rio (which predated the first iPod by 3 years) had shuffle!

It's all about priorities. Someone needs to design the UI, change the program, test it in all the different scenarios (full screen, partial screen) and the different localizations.
And all that needs to prioritized against other enhancements - like the new navigation system promised for 6.0
Sure it's silly they don't have that rather essential feature. But I kinda feel for the understaffed software team - it's never as easy as you think.

I have to say, not having shuffle is incredibly silly. I work in software development - it's not that complicated, but as you say it's about prioritization.
