The problem is not the file name but the TITLE tag. I've been using TeslaTunes and it does rename the files with a sequential number. What we need is to tag the TITLE tag with a sequence number since 8.0 is sorting by the TITLE.

Good god. That is not acceptable.
Well, I'm not updating from 6.4. Actually, that one's bad enough that if the service center updates without my permission, I'll have to ask them for monetary damages for damaging my car. They've been quite good about not updating.
Apparently the 20-something responsible for the new media player was too young to have a CD collection.

Rearranging things so I had no more than a couple hundred files in the largest subdirectory doesn't seem to have materially helped. Yes, the stick did eventually scan and was made available for playback – I'm gonna guess, based on a few minutes worth of timing and eyeballing the progress meter, that the scan proceeded at very roughly 1% per minute. But then for no apparent reason when I left the car and came back to it later, the stick was rescanning again, sitting at 46%. So: occasionally it works, for as long as it works, but at best it's completely unreliable.
At this point, I suppose I could continue to flail at the problem, rearranging the file system, reducing the number of files, that sort of thing. But diminishing returns have set in. Even if I could get the stick to scan and stay mounted reliably – something I doubt – the massive UX regression in 8.0 means I couldn't practically make use of my library anyway. So I guess I'm just going to switch to using my phone for playback. :-( Further debugging is really better performed by someone with access to the source code anyway. Maybe I should send them one of these:

Found a new one. USB drive with a space in the drive name displays as follows:
Drive name: "Tesla Tunes"
Displayed name: "TESLA\x20TUNES"
Drive name: "Tesla Tunes"
Displayed name: "TESLA\x20TUNES"

How large are we talking about? Both in amount of tracks and size in GB. Do you heavily use embedded album art in the track tags?
My first experience: 300 albums, 250 artists, all flac. Scanned fine. Finally using my album art! Scrolling sucks, but if I swipe far right, I can avoid accidentally hitting an item and having to start over.
Oh, and play seems to stay paused overnight as it should. But need to see if that lasts.
Scrolling and artist/album would be my priorities.

I think there might be some time threshold above which it won't stay paused. In my experience with 7.1, if I leave the car for 1 to 2 hours it'll pick up where it left off, but if I leave it for 24 hours then it would phantom-play. I haven't done enough testing to narrow down the value a bit more.
