Does anyone know if there is a way to play files on your USB stick by folder rather than just by mp3 file?
I have a 64 Gig stick with music sorted into folders or "albums", but when I play it through the Head Unit (5 inch) I can't see the folders, but I do see files in all the folders. It would be awesome if I could just cruise my folders.

I have a 64GB USB partitioned to 16GB and formatted to FAT32. I can see a FOLDERS selection on my transplanted 8.4. I could not format the full 64GB to FAT32 (Thus the partition workaround) and did not bother to try NTFS. EXIF does not work at all on mine.

Hmmmm, not sure. I have a 32 gig thumb drive (stick) and I never formatted it or anything, just added over 700 songs in MP3 format and started playing right away. I also have several folders, and I can select "ALL Music" or I can select a specific folder to play from.

I had the same issue and was not able to solve it.

I re-formatted a 128GB thumb drive to FAT32 and loaded it up with almost 1000 single MP3 files. Worked like a champ.

I just put it on "Shuffle" and let it play.

Well I feel like an idiot. Today I noticed that the ARTISTS, ALBUMS, GENRE page scrolls! Yep, FOLDERS is there, I just had to scroll down to find it.
