I like to make the most of the Premium Sound system by playing predominantly FLAC files. However on many occasions when I start the car the previous playlist has stopped, the > icon is greyed out & I have to go through the rigmarole of swiping up, selecting USB, selecting folders, scrolling, choosing the folder and then a track to resume playing. It's doubly frustrating that I have to swipe up twice (then down afterwards to close) to do this with music selections showing full screen. Voice control just reverts to Spotify and any voice instruction containing 'USB' reports as not recognised.
Originally I used a single 256GB drive formatted with a Teslacam folder and a separate music folder but this sometimes tried to play the video files as music and failed.
I now have a USB hub with two devices connected - TCSUNBOW 256gb SSD for Sentry and Sandisk ultra FIT 64gb USB for music. I've also tried this with a 128GB Kingston drive containing numerous albums/folders that I used without issue in a previous car but exactly the same thing happens. Likewise using 320bit mp3 to see if the individual music files might be too large but it doesn't appear to be related to an audio buffer or similar because the result is the same.
On the Sandisc drive I've tried creating separate folders per album, folders per artist containing multiple albums, per artist with all tracks from numerous albums in a single folder and also a single folder called music with separate albums in that. Unfortunately all (mis)behave the same.
On some occasions after finding > greyed out, music not playing and not bothering to faff about, the next time I get in the car and/or select drive, > is no longer greyed out & music resumes from two drives ago.
Please can anyone else advise whether their car manages to consistently resume playing USB music and if so what configuration they are using. This is becoming extremely annoying, I just want to be able to use a large selection of my own music at high audio quality and for it to play continuously.
