USB Music

I cant figure this one out and the only dumb question is one that is not asked, right ? I have a USB thumb drive with a ton of music on it. How do I get the Audio System to play random artists and random songs ? I see where I can shuffle songs within an artist or album, but cannot find Total Randomness..........suggestions ? thanks

So I think you have to have all your songs in a single directory, like the root. Then use Options and select the random checkbox.

Hi cbmmm3

I had a similar thing & iirc you select "Tracks" from the left hand side idrive menu within media.
It will now play all the music tracks on the USB drive. ( as long as you've got shuffle selected)

Hope that helps,

You can put all music in one folder and then use create playlists rather than organize files within folders.
