Am i being thick ?

I bought a 16GB usb stick for my golf and put on around 10GB worth of songs. When I play the music from my MIB11 it only plays and lets me choose half the music on my memory stick, yet I know all the songs are there as ive put the memory stick into my laptop and checked. So at the moment alphabetically its only letting me go upto artist J. Anybody else had this issue ?

It may be that you have too many folders. Have a look at this thread for help with the media interface:-

Good luck

Would that be why in my Mk6 Golf and B7 Passat, I can access all the music when searching manually, but when I have it on "Mix All" it only selects the first third or so files in alphabetical order?

The symptom would seem to fit with the limitations of the system dubber36. How many folders do you have? Try merging (just a few) of our latter artists (so Y&T and ZZ Top if you have them) into a single folder called "A" or some such and see if they now play when you shuffle.

I've got a folder for each album, so probably 150.

lol im so confused, when I put my usb on my laptop none of my music are in folders.how do I find out how many folders I have ?

Think the limit is 1,000 songs in one folder. I had to split my "singles" in half and had two seperate folders.

[ashasg03]

so in my usb drive can  create 2 folders on with 1000 songs each ?

Erm, presumably, if none of your music is in folders, you have 0 folders?!?! However....assuming you have Windows and not a Mac, when you plug your USB into your laptop, if you select all items on you USB which you can do be clicking "Select All" from the file menu (within Windows File Explorer), or clicking any item on the USB (again, within Windows File Explorer) and pressing Ctrl+A - this will highlight all items on your USB stick, then right click your mouse and select "properties", it will tell you how many items there are and how many folders there are.

yes basically I clicked and dragged all my music from the folder on my windows laptop to the usb folder. hence why I don't think ive seen any folders
