Using the USB port

[Sanzomat]

A few questions about playing music from the USB port. I've ordered a 2.0d R-design SE V70 (due in September) Can anyone confirm how this works - the test drive car I borrowed had the autochanger so no USB to try out. I'm hoping it will be possible to simply copy a load of music onto a USB flash stick and plug it in. If this works, how does the head unit see the tracks? I'm hoping it will see a list of folders named by artist that if you select will show the album titles and then the tracks under that. I'm also hoping there will be a "shuffle all" feature like on an MP3 player. I was dissapointed when I had a 3 day test of an Insignia that although it recognised the music on the flash stick it did not see the "artist" folders but instead just showed a big pile of album titles. It also didn't seem to be able to remember what you were playing last and everytime you started up it went back to the first track of the first album in the list. It would n't even let you change trackes until it had read the whole stick and list all the albums so by the time you got to a point where you could select something else you had heard about a minute of the first track - you would soon get sick of hearing that same 60 secs of music everytime! My A6 reads mp3/wma files saved on the CD and (usually) starts playing from where you left off. Can anyone please confirm how the Volvo works in this respect - hopefully more like the audi and not the insignia!
