I have been using windows media player, but that is what's caused all the naming problems. I've used cd ripper that JD52 suggested and that has solved the problem.

Oh right. I will give that a try. Thanks for the recommendation.

With an external usb cd player.

I ripped the tracks directly from cd into Windows media player. I then ripped the albums from media player and directly from the music file on my laptop. I did this originally without editing any artist or album name. I only started changing the names when I first encountered the naming problem on the car stereo. Within Windows, I don't have this problem.

I've just checked the files on my laptop in music and media player. They have the same problem, so it doesn't seem to be the ripping process from laptop to sd card. Very odd. I will have a play and see if I can get around it. Many thanks for help. Much appreciated.

OK, so the individual tracks have the name of the album that's showing on the car stereo, not what the album is named in windows media player, or the music folder on my laptop. Does that mean going through each track to correct it? Thanks again.

I tried adding the band name to the folder as last ditch attempt to correct the order as it appears on the stereo. They were originally as you have your folders and I was still having the naming and order problem.

Thanks again. The track names are OK, it's the album names that are causing the problem.

Hi, Thanks for your reply and instructions. I tried that, but on albums that I know have changed the name, it's not showing a previous title. Hopefully you can see what I mean from the attached image. Cheers

I'm hoping someone might be able to assist me . I'm currently transferring all of my CDs to SD card so I can play them in my Octavia as it doesn't have a CD player, but I have an album naming and ordering problem that i just can't fathom. I've transferred everything to the cards without a problem and when I view the cards on the laptop they are in the correct order (EG by Artist/band name) and the group/album name is correct, but when I put the cards into the SD 2 slot and view them in media on the stereo, the albums are in a random order with some having different names. Any ideas please?

Initially I cut and pasted the artist folder from my music and then I tried copying all the individual albums from within the folder. That didn't seem to make any difference. So for example I will transfer a double cd album from Windows media player or my music onto the card and viewing the sd card on the laptop the album side 1 and 2 have the same name apart from disc 1 and 2, but when the card is viewed on the car stereo disc 1 will be called something else. I hope that makes sense.

Quite possibly, but it's also changing the album name.

It's a 2020, so I assumed it's a mk4. Anyway, it has x2 sd slots in the glovebox.

They are in the glove box. One is for the satellite navigation and the other for media.
