I might be missing something with my 2 week old Model S, so I wonder if others have the same experience: I have loaded a flash drive with mp3 music files using iTunes. The music is arranged in folders to hopefully accomplish what a playlist does. I know if a song appears in more than one folder there may be some duplication.
The model S is running software version 5.8 as delivered. When browsing the flash drive through the car's media app, I can browse by song, artist, album, genre, or folder.
All browsing options except by folder will present nice alphabetical lists, with an alphabet index and a preview of album art. As the selections play, the song metadata including title, artist, album and art is displayed. Nicely done and as expected.
However, browsing by folder only shows the file name, and no metadata. When played, each song shows no metadata, only file name.
i thought arranging in folders would give me a playlist function. It does, but without metadata. Is there a way to get a playlist function that includes metadata? By the way, the same flash drive with folders does present metadata when browsing and playing by folder on my 2013 Kia.
