Sort songs by track number - USB


Recommended Posts

MyFord Touch defaults my USB music to play alphabetically... even when playing a single album. Is there a way I can change/sort it to play by track number instead? Most of my songs are from CDs I have ripped myself, so i know there track numbers are embedded in the files.

In searching myFord touch issues, I have heard of some people having success by actually adding a numeric system to the title of the song. For example "Highway to Hell" would be named "01 Highway to Hell". People report even higher success using 3 digits versus 2. For example "001 Highway to Hell".

 

Also note that my myFord touch decides daily which way it wants to play them. Some days its in alpha order, other days numeric. I though first it must be if you ask to play album v artist, or whatever, but its all over the map and must be some sort of glitch at this point.

 

I seem to have no problem after doing a master reset and indexing the devices again. Trouble arrives if I ever disconnect and add more songs. Perhaps try a master reset? Just be aware this deletes all your saved info including phonebook, presets (maybe), etc.

 

Personally I am too anal to add numbers in the title, so I just deal with it right now.

I've had different results when I used voice commands to tell sync what to play.

Give Voice a try.
