    In my case, once files were changed to MP3, my thumb drive had too much memory. I had to use a 16, down from a 128. Less was better in this case.

    Has anyone found a limit for number of files on a drive? Meaning can I fill a 64Gb with MP3s or will the system choke out?

    There is a limit of files per folder. I don't have my manual in front of me, but I believe it's 99.

    There's a bit in the manual that explains the settings for the RND button/function. Random play through the selected folder, random play through the drive, etc...

    MP3 Won't Play

    I had a similar problem with my wifes Cadillac CTS. I found out some music services (Amazon is one) now download you music using a variable bit rate. Everything played fine in my F-150 but not the Cadillac. I had to go back and change the variable bit rate to a fixed bit rate and then they played fine. i used Audacity to make this conversion.

    I have some folders with more than 99 files, works fine. I believe my largest is 137 songs.

    If this is correct, y'all need to fire up eBay and snag an old iPod mini. I've got an 8GB version with about 1500 tunes on it. Works great in the left saddlebag.
