Hi guys

I drive a 2021 Mazda 3. It's a lovely upgrade from my 2015 model, but, the entertainment playback options are quite poorly thought through, unless I am missing something.

So, maybe you can assist.

I have a usb stick in the car that has most of my music on it....around 10k tracks.

However, I cannot for the life me get the unit to, for instance, shuffle tracks from one artist only.

If you navigate to Library>Artists>[Artist Name]. it again lists all the albums found for that artist. So again, you can only select an album for it to play, and not span the shuffle across all albums.

I've also thought of just dumping every artist into one folder with no album subfolder, and then can use the "Folders" function, but the file trees arent very long, so only the first 20-30 or so files will show up. Same thing for playlists.

Any advice?
