Default 2021 CX-5 GTR Playing Music from USB Folders

Just traded my 2017 GT to 2021 GTR.
Playing music from USB's folders, 2021 GTR starts playing another folder (album) after playing the last song of the folder (album) I have been playing. With 2017 GT, it just stopped after the last song was played, which is what I prefer as I want to choose what I listen to.
I've tried to look for the way to stop playing after the last song with no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Guess I am the only one who is using USB stick for playing music...
I have resorted to create mp3 file with 10 minutes of silence and tagged it at the end of the album so that I have enough time to make my choice of what to listen to next.

I plugged my USB flash drive in with all my music organized in and it doesn't even see it! ..is your drive formatted for PC or Mac? Mine is Mac.. so I'm wondering if that's it. Ugh.

Mine is formatted for PC. Format is FAT32. I'm not familiar with Mac but maybe you could format it in FAT32 and copy your folders?

It would be nice if the system supported FLAC files in addition to MP3. MP3 is an older format (introduced in 1993). The best you can get with MP3 is 320kbps which results in some reduction in audio quality. Some content is encoded at lower quality still. You can play lossless FLAC files, widely available through torrents, through Carplay with a free app called Vox.

I use a mix of Vox and the flash drive.
