How many songs on your drive? I know earlier model years had a limit somewhere around 10,000 songs that they could index. I don't know if this is still the case.
External Hard Drive MP3s
I have a question, I use to be able to play my mp3s and view my whole mp3 hard drive with artists, albums, songs, etc. Now all of a sudden it only shows artist R through numbers. Yet i can view all the files on a computer perfectly. Its fat32 format and all mp3s. I have reformatted it, ran virus checks, and nothing works. It still shows artists r - numbers. It shows their songs only. No songs from or artist names from A - Q 
If anyone has experienced this please let me know especially if they have found a solution.
Thank you all!

Latest gimmick in hard drives are solid state ones, employing all flashram chips on the inside, like this one for 320 bucks.
For the same price could buy 30 16GB flashdrives with the same memory capacity. With the advantage, you don't have all of your eggs in one basket.

hahah this time i did let it sit in room temperature yet it still gives me the same problem.....why does it show all my files on a computer but not in the car?......and yes all my music files are backed up. This is just a crap problem. Read somewhere i should reformat and run a virus/malware bytes scan on it....didnt do anything
This is what I am using in my Cruze, even called a Cruzer fit flashdrive by Sandisk.

Holds around 6,000 average songs, can use folders, subfolders, etc. Using folder view in the Cruze can find your genres instantly, albums, then the individual song. Runs around ten bucks, lifetime warranty.
Comparing flashdrives with a solid state drive is relative for value. If one flashdrive craps out, just a little lost. If that solid state drive craps out, lose everything. Another word for it, is common sense.

From what I've been reading, the SanDisk Cruzer flash drives have the best success being used in cars. I haven't tried one of their 32 GB sticks yet. I find that trying to page through dozens and dozens of folders, looking for hundreds and hundreds of albums, covering thousands and thousands of tracks to be distracting on the system in my car. We have a half dozen 4 GB and 8 GB SanDisks in the console in a small carrying case by Case Logic. The drives are arranged by genre. This makes it easier (less of a hazard) to play tunes on the system. Every OM I've read states not to use a computer or EM hard drive on the USB port. If your selection problem has just started happening, perhaps the audio system has developed a problem with the device. Have you removed the battery cables, touched them together for 30 seconds to reset the electronics?
