This is driving me crazy and can't get an answer from anywhere!

With my Fabia Swing system and a USB stick plugged in I find that all my albums come up with the tracks playing in ALPHABETICAL ORDER instead of the designated order.

On my previous car (Kia Picanto) there were options in the menu to select various ordering formats but can't find anything for this car or head unit.

Have tried all sorts of systems with renaming files and changing MP3 tags and all to no avail.

Most albums have been compiled to play in a specific order.

Almost all of my stuff is my own music so cannot call on online databases, or whatever, but like I said, I have tried every system of numbering within the track titles and within the MP3 tags themselves.

Please, has anyone any idea how to sort this?

Thanks.

I have an Amunden on my Fabia and my files are similarly arranged and they play exactly as arranged in the file system.

 

Have you checked through the media playback options? I suspect there's an option you need to set or clear to turn off alphabetic ordering.  I notice that the Swing has a setting called: Turn title playback including subfolders on/off

 

I think that is a prime suspect 😉

Thanks Bob.

Tried every available option to no avail.

I have now almost given up using the USB system for listening to music.

I been wondering if the other infotainment systems, on other trim models, have the same issue for when I decide I might trade for a new model in a couple of years.

By then the technology will probably have changed again .... for the worse!

If I can't get personally curated albums to play in the correct order it spoils the enjoyment.

Still considering a portable CD player.

My wife's 2015 Fabia with Bolero does this with a USB stick too - I agree very annoying and the technology may well be worse in future and the present old recordings unplayable as the format (or wotever's the correct term) has changed yet again.

 

I'm not sure if albums are still in alphabetical order when using the SD card slot in the glovebox as I just listen to the DAB radio anyway
