Default Music on USB disappearing

So i have a bunch of music on my USB drive and I have it plugged into the c port in the drawer. It has always played all my songs in Alphabetical order. Now all of a sudden it only plays a few songs and I can't find my whole list. Anyone have information on how I can play all my songs in Alphabetical order again?

Also when I do have the music playing and it seems like it always wants to connect to my Bluetooth for Pandora. How do I stop that? Thanks for all the replies

You might have a corrupted USB drive.. Plug it in to your home computer and right click on the drive letter. Choose Properties -> Tools -> Check. That will let you know if there are any errors and hopefully fix them.

Or..

You might have accidentally activated the 'random play' function. Tap the icon in the image below. It will toggle between 'play randomly' and 'play songs in order'. (I think the image below shows the player is in the random setting)..

How do you have your USB stick set up and how are you accessing the songs through the IFCU player? When you select the bike's USB player, you get a menu asking how you want to call up the songs (By artist, album, song, playlist etc.. see below).

If you just have a bunch of songs with no playlists or folders on the stick, then selecting 'Song' from the menu should show you a list of all the songs on your memory stick in alphabetical order. Click on the fist one and and it should play that song and then all the others following that in alphabetical order. Unless you have the random icon set, then they'll be mixed up.

If I am listening to either the USB connection or the radio, and I have a blue tooth connection to my phone, whenever I get an alert on my phone the infotainment system shifts over to the blue tooth connection and I have to switch it back. I have not yet found a way to stop this.

Well, I do not have to worry about it anymore. All the music I had I was putting into folders on my laptop and accidentally hit reformat and lost all my music
