The Canton music system on my 2022 Superb defaults to playing tracks from my phone in alphabetical order whenever I stop/re-start the car - regardless of where I've got to in a playlist. Does anyone know how I can re-set it so it just carries on playing from where it's left off?

MIB3 playlist handling is useless. I have a similar problem when playing from USB stick, the system forgets where it was, or even that it was playing a playlist, and defaults to the first item on the stick. During startup I can see a message about "device unavailable", which suggests to me that part of the system which mounts the storage is slow, and the audio software doesn't wait for it to complete. I have tried may different sizes and brands of USB storage to no effect. After much to-and-from from Skoda customer service over many months I finally got contacted by their executive office with the response "sorry, working as designed". You're probably best to ignore as much of the onboard system as possible, just use a competently-designed player on the phone and stream the audio to the car.

I fear you're probably right, Steve. And yet my cheap old Hyundai i10 handles it perfectly!

Do the MIB3 have the internal jukebox? On my MIB2 I can copy songs to the internal hard drive. If they have the correct ID3 tags on the files then it sorta them into albums and playlists and carries on playing from where you left off. Not ideal if you have a huge music collection but great for a few CDs worth.

I wasn't aware of that option, but certainly worth investigating. Thanks for the suggestion.

Yep, so did my old Mondeo and Audi... VW got a lot of criticism for the new infotainment software, it does seem to have been designed by someone who uses a phone but has never driven a car 😁

No facility to copy music over to an internal hard drive as far as I know.

Its just a bit of a rubbish facility designed to just 'play'.

The key interactive MIB stuff I tend to default to Carplay (or AA if that's your phone) - maps I tend to use Waze or Google Maps (I'm finding Waze doesn't automatically give me the quickest route these days for some reason) and Spotify for music.

I have the same issues as above listed, so might be that these are a "feature" and not a "defect" 😁

I play music only from yhe USB stick, set to 'mass storage'.

Sometimes it resumes where it left, most times - especially after overnight - starts again from the beginning, so it must have some timer-out thing ....

I also noticed for the order, the priority seems to be the 'Track info' tag in the music file, and only second the filename itself.

On a stick that I made quick and dirty it shows how it is uncordinated, in another one I did proper ripping my old CDs (looong and tedious process) the tracks are listed proper following the file tag information.
