USB stick keeps repeating same folder
I have just purchased a Mini with Navigation and Harman Kardon sound system.
But I am having a problem using a USB stick.
On the root directory is a folder called MINI01 and within this folder are all the folders named after the various artists/albums.
When I select the USB option with the joystick I see the MINI01 folder, but nothing else. I select this folder and it plays the first album over and over, never switching to the others.
Also repeated using 2 other sticks in the same format.
The CD player is happy to switch folders for my MP3's.
Any suggestions?

It quickly gets really annoying on a long trip, having to keep looking down to navigate through folders.

On a PC, the default is FAT32. Mine (with H/K sound system but without nav.) does the same thing, simply repeating the same folder until I switch it to another one. I haven't found a way around it.

Try this!
I have a guess for the reason everyone has been having problems - playlists. I have been having NO PROBLEMS randomly playing songs from my USB drive, until today. I copied over a new CD I purchased, and forgot to do one thing...remove the playlist. I think most programs add a playlist during the ripping process. Each folder should only have the song files and not the other files. (Maybe with Connected/NAV a JPEG cover would be OK).
My program adds a .m3U file to each ripped cd's folder. After I drag and drop a folder, I have to remember to get rid of the junk, and ONLY have the song files. If I remember correctly, Itunes has about 3 junk files, and they are hidden (you have to display hidden files).
Here is the quick check I do after adding new music to my USB. I press "LIST". If ANYTHING besides "Empty List" is displayed, you have playlists which are messing you up. Today, I pressed LIST and saw the new CD I added. I also pressed DIR (which should normally show all my ripped CDs by artist in alphabetical order), but I only saw that one new CD! Also I could not randomly play outside of that CD. That sounds almost exactly like the problems all of you are experiencing.
My USB drive settings in the car are: ART checked and RND checked. With this setting, ANY song out of ANY folder gets randomly played. Also as expected, manually selecting the next track randomly selects a new track. Unfortunately I can't tell you how to do this with Connected/NAV.
