USB Folder list
Pulled the thumb drive out of my Volt and put it in the USB slot behind the display. I have about a hundred mp3's plus to directories one being Xmas and other Best. Going to browse according to owners manual there should be a option foe folders but there isn't one. The USB drive works in 12 Volt and 13 Buick so I know nothing wrong with thumb drive. Any idea why the folders don't show or no option for displaying them. There is icons for songs, artists, composers, podcasts and a few more but no folder view as the manual shows. Help.

I hope they correct that missing feature and make it just like the manual states it should be. maybe the recent update fixes it, i haven't done the update yet.

that menu item is missing on mine too... i had to tag the album name attributes on all songs to contain the folder name. then you can click on albums and have the same effect.

I got frustrated, and plugged in my 8 year old ipod classic, and all the playlist showed! So now, I just plug in my ipod and everything is dandy. You can get a used ipod on ebay for about $50-$100, and sync your songs through itune and to an ipod or iphone and it will work fine. I have about 2000 songs and about a dozen playlist, one of those is "Christmas music".
By the way, through my iphone 5 and my ipad, if you sync with bluetooth, it will play the songs but you have to control the playlist through the iphone or ipad itself.

"folder view" is missing... It's not present in the menu... gone... I challenge any of you to find it and post a picture of the menu containing that item.
this is what the OP is referring to.
