      At least the shuffle is partly coherent.

    I read the manual for my cars radio. It has a max file size limit of like 256 songs or so per folder. But it can also accept 256 folders.

    So if your cars is anything like mine you can probably play your songs just by splitting them up into more folders.

      no such luck for me there. the music is in /artist/album directories. I had considered flattening it all out to see if that makes a difference.

    The randomizing n my Focus ST is good, but when I tell it to shuffle play it always starts with 1 of 2 different songs, every time.

    Yeah WTF is up with that? My car does the same thing with a USB drive full of songs. It will literally play the same “shuffled” sequence over and over every time you drive. I have to take out the drive and change the files on it sometimes to make it actually Shuffle the songs’ order and that’s too much BS

      Afaik Ford Focus == Volvo V40/V50 in those years, basically with a different chassis and insignia :)

        And Mazda 3. The platforms are the same but engines and interiors a lot different between the Fords and the Mazdas at least.
