I have my music separated by folder in my USB drive. That way, each folder acts as an "album". Anyway, in my previous cars I would be able to jump to the next or previous folder, in different ways depending of the car (2012 Veloster, 2015 Mustang) but the Stinger Harman Kardon premium system can't seem to do it.

I haven't found anything on google or the manual. Does anyone know if it's possible? I can only skip one song at a time, which is not very practical when you have hundreds of songs in a 64 GB USB drive.

If you use FLAC format you can jump from album to album.

I didn't realize there was a separate manual for the sound system. I just learned two things about the Kia Stinger:

a) It's simply not possible to browse the USB drive by folder.
b) It is also not possible to play music by using voice commands.

Basic functionality my old 2012 Veloster had. Oh well, I already signed the contract so I better get used to it. [dunno]

I thought you could browse by folders pressing on the List button. See page 2-16

Well yeah but in other cars you can jump between folders at the push of a button or with voice commands. In the Stinger you have to manually browse the file system and tap three or four options in the touchscreen, taking your eyes off the road. My workaround is to enable smart cruise control so i can safely ignore the road for a few seconds.
