Also, I don't recall that the reported bugs include lack of support for ALAC... It has never been supported. Some of @BertL steps are purely to convert ALAC to FLAC. Those would not go away in any event, unless Tesla adds ALAC support.

Still Trying to Figure This All Out
Yeah. Like every track turning into a new album because the track artist tags are not exactly the same.

If you think that's an attack you have thinner skin than an unnamed Presidential candidate. My point is you're griping about what does and doesn't work when it's been tested by many what works with USB then we find out you're talking about Bluetooth.

Political comment--shameful.
In any event, as I've 'honestly' posted the USB approach reflects what I said.
Turns out I just didn't realize that sometimes the player displays a minimized version of "now playing."
If you drag the "|< || >| Title" small bar upwards, the full Skip/Play/Pause pane comes back and then you can click the shuffle and repeat buttons again.
Honestly, they need to hook the randomness of whether or not that version of the Music player is displayed for shuffle because it is obviously based off of a better PRNG than the current "random" for shuffle.
Also, in a UI that has always had hinting for when panes can be shifted, how on earth is anyone supposed to know when you can drag elements up/down/left/right anymore? Not just the above Music player compact/full mode, but folks couldn't find the account login stuff either. When it takes an entire village of forum denizens to crowdsource answers to simple UI actions... you done f'd up.
Sorry that this is off-topic for the USB bug list thread but I wanted to correct my earlier hypothesis about my inability to re-enable shuffle being linked to USB scanning.
It's not off-topic at all.
Not documenting a feature, both how it is supposed to work, and how it does not, by design and practice, is every bit as important as teh feature itself.
USB artwork is a great example. Which formats does it work with? What size is allowed? What resolution is allowed? Dozens of hours have been spent (wasted) by owners in the last two weeks trying to answer questions that shouldn't exist.
Agreed -- I had a "RioCar" (newer version of Empeg) in my car for many years. It was easy to use, easy to read the screen, easy to organize my library, had great screen-savers. Importantly, I could find the song, or album, or genre that I wanted to play with minimal attention dragged away from the road.
Sweet, another one! And technically, I had the Rio mk2, so the same thing you did. I think the Empeg might have either been an interchangeable name or the name for version 1. You are 100% correct that operations were designed to minimize driver attention.
I think I'm going to do another video about some more of the features it had. I really liked getting it out and playing with it. Of course, it made my rage level rise when I got back in the Tesla.....
Turned energy saving off and it now only reloads only the occasionally.
Let say you have 6 albums from U2 you want to play the 5th one and you don't know the titles of the songs, good luck if your driving and keeping your eyes on the road. Ang if you have a 256Gb usb key with over 200 albums and your listening an album by David Bowie and then you want to listen to an album from Willie Nelson, good luck keeping your eyes on the road.
It's worse than that. You are assuming that you could actually scroll to the W's without it having to accidently click into a folder before that. Then when you hit the back button, you have to start all over.
OMG this gives me the rages.
The deletion of the "jump to letter" list on the right side of the media player is utterly baffling. Who thought this was a good idea?
But it's exacerbated by the bug you point out.
It's a sin but workaround is to use folder view and set up folders A thru Z and put artists in there. There are many 8.0 errors that don't have workarounds, but that one does.
BTW please don't call these bugs. Bugs are when code doesn't deliver on design. These are pure and simple errors.
It fixed my having to reload issue turning energy savings off. Bet fixes my sometimes longer time to connect to pre cool or pre warm car lag I was experiencing. the usb will play the list in same order but does not open the playlist to the artist. I am going to stop using the program I was using, and use a folder option on the usb (Like AB, cd, ef) to be able to avoid having to scroll thru 50 screens to get to lower letters in the alphabet.
The hysterical thing is, bringing back the letter shortcuts might actually fix both issues. If you aren't rapidly scrolling, you won't accidentally click into a folder. Then just fix the return to top of list bug when you press the back button and we are well on our way to a media player that doesn't try to kill you while operating it.

Instead of calling it "bugs" or "errors", is it OK if I call it "bull$h!t"?
Can I call it "Millennials designing software for Boomers and Xers - epic fail"?
I almost rear ended someone on Friday after work. They have created a safety hazard with this horrid refresh.

First one, yep.
Second one, nope. Not even Millennials (that I sometimes fall under, depending on the scale) can use this interface.
That last bit is on you though
At least with my AP car, I can flip it on briefly to allow more focus on the Media "Player." That is... when AP isn't forcing me to fleet-learn it into driving between the lines
