Voice command

I have my music on a 64gb usb stick. When I ask the system (idrive 7) to play a particular artist or track 90% of the time she says ‘I’m preparing voice control for the music search’. Occasionally she does what I asked her to do but very rarely. Does anyone else have this problem or know of a fix?

Is it not just due to the system putting the song info into a cache? I used to have a similar issue way back when I had lots of data stored on a portable hard drive.

Does it work if you leave it untouched for 10 mins or so?

No the occasions when it works are totally random.

If you have Apple car play and an Apple phone use it instead as the voice command is Siri and she get it right every time.

I have similar amount of music on my iPhone and Siri is almost always accurate in car play.

Alternatively transfer the music to the on board HDD as it caches quickly.

There is no onboard HDD any more - it’s gone.

I assume this is on the LCI only?

Thanks I wasn't aware.
