Music player for the car

[Mr Moofo]

Can;t be bothered to faff around with the phone each and it has limited memory, so my multi gig library has gone on a memory stick, for matted to FAT32 as that is all BMW will read
Library is there , it plays fine - but the structure doest allow me to jump to the next track on shuffle. I can use iDrive to jump to another track - but then it lists everything alphabetically.
Any suggestions or should I just buy a mp3 player?

Use Android Auto and what ever you use to play music on your phone (VLC, etc..)

I have just got a Kia Niro and a couple of days ago I spent 15 minutes trying to understand how the USB player worked. It is unnecessarily over complicated because after it has digested the couple of thousand tracks it can select by artist/album/folder and this affects the random play options and therefore the next track action. Eventually I got it figured out to just play the next random track from the entire collection but I couldn't explain how even if it was the same as a BMW! Luckily for me I find music far too distracting to play anything at all while actually driving other than in long queues etc.

It sounds similar to mine. What I've done is load all my music onto a USB stick and then prefixed a random number to each file. That's done by a small program running in Linux.
