Not sure if I have missed a setting or it just isn't possible but how can you change the sort order of the music which is on the SD card?
It's all in album name order and want it to be artist name order which seems more sensible.....
Any advice appreciated. I have (or think I have) gone through every option with no success
PCM music sort order

Anyone with any ideas. I just can't believe there is no option to change the sort order of the music...
I can do it on any car or device... I hope I am being really silly and missing the option but for the life of me I can't find it...

Ah, I was going to reply to this but forgot.
No, the browser thing is always by "Album" alphabetically.
If you want to see an alphabetic list of Artists, then you have to push the Search button, then Artist (or other things).
You can also push the Browse button, which on my SDs have the directory structure by Artist then Album.
This is the main reason why I use CarPlay and play stuff from my iPhone.
SD card is only now for HD FLAC stuff and a few backup tunes in case I don't have my phone with me.

With the PCM showing the Album covers simply press Browse and it then goes from displaying by album title to displaying alphabetically by Artist.

Totally different response.
Whilst I have a PC the software I use by choice for the Macan is iTunes.
I generate my own Playlists and then export them out of iTunes in M3U format and then place this file in the root of the Music folder of the SD card
If you want to be more selective about what you put on an SD card you can also copy all the music folders to the SD card which the Playlist file will use to play the music, just put the M3U Playlist files in the root of the SD card.
I have 32Gb+ of music on one SD card and 100 playlists in one slot and in the other I have the downloaded radio shows that I like Sounds of the 60s, Paul Jones RnB, Clare Teals Jazz/Swing etc
I did post quite a long post on Macan audio which includes a more detail how to guide.

This only works if you've arranged them that way in the Jukebox/SD - see what I posted above.

Thanks guys and will try that. At least it was not me going mad and the workaround is good enough.
Much appreciated
All my music is sorted by artist name and then album name and then tracks and very well organised and tagged.
I already use playlists which work perfectly too

If you have not tried it get iTunes to make a Genius Playlist based on one song, it does come up with some interesting eclectic songs.
