More Audio System Questions & Problems: USB & .mp3s
I'm trying to figure out how the car sorts the mps3 on a USB stick for playing order. I like to listen to audiobooks and all of my files are in alphabetical order. But when I load them on a USB stick and put them in the car it almost seems to play them randomly, which obviously is a problem for listening to a book. I can't figure out how the car is deciding what order to play the files in so I can arrange them to play properly. Has anyone figured this out?
Another problem I have is that it won't play all of the .mp3s I have on a USB stick. I also listen to podcasts and the first time I loaded 2 on and I could play only one of them although I could see both of them listed, I couldn't get it to play the second file. Took it back to my computer and they both play fine. Then I loaded with 5 different files and I could play 3 of them and 2 of them I couldn't. Again, they all played fine on my computer. Is this just a bug in the system?
Finally, it also seems that if I have one USB stick in one of the USB ports and I pug in a second one, I can't access the 2nd one. It doesn't matter what port I use, I can only access the USB stick I put in first. Is there something wrong with my car or is this how it is supposed to work?

OK, I fixed the first problem. This is a known issue with playing .mp3s from a USB drive and there are utilities to fix it:

Still looking for answers to the other questions.
