My Ride: LCI E60 520d SE Manual, Jet Black/Natural Brown/Light Poplar, Auto A/C, Elec Front Seats+Lumbar & Driver Memory, SCA Doors, Thru Load, Auto Dim Folding Mirrors, Adaptive Xenons+High-beam Assist, LDWS, USB Audio, 244 wheels+RFTs (until worn) & S-S Spare

Does the manual cover what the usb software does when some of the "albums" (folders) in a flash stick consist of "tracks" (MP3 or AAC files) without IP3 headers? i.e. Does it still display "user friendly" lists where it can and, if so, how does it treat the IP3-less ones?

Also, presumably, the usb player normally sequences through the tracks of what it recognises as an album; giving an effect similar to a CD player. What does it do when only folder/file level information is available - e.g When starting up, before the IP3 headers have been analysed? Does it sequence automatically through the files in a folder, or does each individual file have somehow to be selected?

Well, if it doesn't state WHY, I would definitely give it a try...

Any luck with this. I am also trying with no luck. The USB option is greyed out with nothing being displaying. I have a large number of files on the drive so I wonder if it is talking long to read them all.
