Music on USB drive
#16
I found the limitations on USB music in the GX to be so utterly frustrating that I bought a used Gen 8 iPod Nano 16gb off eBay and a very short left 90 degree angle usb to 90 degree lightning cable.
That generation iPod Nano lays perfectly flat on the bottom of the usb connection compartment and I have it secured there with a bit of Velcro. With the 90 degree angle usb cable, that compartment door easily closes, I can still use Bluetooth on my phone for music if I choose and I have full functionality of playlists, id3 tags, easy artist browsing and embedded albums art through the iPod.
I can still connect my iPhone to charge with the other usb connection and my phone will still sit diagonally in the compartment just like it would prior to laying the Nano in there.

Got it and yes the ID3 tags must be set in order to browse by song, artist, and album.
