I know people have discussed the inadequacies of the USB music integration in Tesla's in general (e.g., losing album cover art with a recent software update), but hoping there's a simpler solution for my latest question.
I loaded about 10GB of music onto a USB 3.0 flash drive, mostly so it is easier to play music for the kids (yes, we have listened to Frozen and Frozen 2 far too many times), and also because my old iPod Nano, which I used in my Toyota Prius, is unsupported on Tesla vehicles. Using Frozen as an example, I first noticed that, if I went into "Albums," I'd see multiple albums entitled Frozen, which is because the songs were performed by different artists (even though I set the "Album Artist" to something generic like "Frozen"). To fix this, I just changed "Artist" to Frozen (via the mp3tag application I downloaded for my PC).
Now for my second issue - we have the two-disc version of Frozen, and I also edited the tags so each disc was identified as disc 1 and 2. However, when I go into the Frozen album and play track 1, it will play disc 1, track 1, followed by disc 2, track 1, and so forth.
Assuming disc 1 is 25 tracks, I know one solution is to make everything 1 disc, so that disc 2, track 1 will be identified as song 26 on disc 1 (rather than song 1 on disc 2).
However, is there a different way to resolve this, so that the songs play in sequential order? Is there a special way to tag the albums? For example, does it matter if I tag a song as Track 1, as opposed to Track 1/25? Similarly, does it matter if I tag a song as Disc 1, as opposed to Disc 1/2?
Thanks for any assistance or input.
