Yes, absolutely. Here's how I have my folders set up; this set-up allows me to play an entire CD:
Top-level folders: Music genre (Rock, Jazz, etc.)
2nd level folders: Artist
3rd level: CD name
In each CD folder I have the tracks from that particular CD. When I want to play a particular CD I simply select the 1st track on that CD and the CD then plays in its entirety.
I hope this makes sense!

Much appreciated.
Enjoy your holiday weekend.

With your flash drive plugged in to your computer, access the drive through Windows Explorer. Create and name a folder for each type of music you want to have on your drive. I have separate folders for Rock/Pop, Jazz , Classical, etc.
Following the same procedure, create a folder for each artist under the appropriate genre folder. For example, under your Rock / Pop folder, create a folder for Genesis, another for Journey, another for Tom Petty, etc.
Under each artist's folder, create a new folder for each CD by that artist. For example, under your Genesis folder, create a folder for Invisible Touch, another for Abacab, etc.
After ripping a CD, just move the tracks to that CD's folder.
Once you're done with this process, it's very easy to navigate your music collection on your car's center screen.
If you'd like additional help, feel free to send me a PM; I'll then send you my phone number and we can talk through it.

Hi Mike - I leave my flash drive connected all the time. The only time I remove it is when I need to add new music to it. Not that it matters, but I keep it in the USB port behind the center screen.Feel free to reach out at any time; I'll be happy to help in any ways that I can.Mike
I will leave my flash drive plugged in with my Glock behind the screen.
Iam not much with smart phones but if you need help with your F22 radar don't hesitate to ask.
Thanks Again >>>> Mike

Jim - it's just a way of organizing the music on the drive. I'll try to clarify:

Kudos and many thanks to MPUZAH. He walked me thru the process. It could not have been more timely because I left for a meeting in Columbus at 5:30 AM.
This forum is so fortunate to have individuals like him who will give their time to help someone else out.
Now I have to get my baby back in for what I think is a transparent roof rattle in the right rear. It is very loud and annoying.
Happy Memorial Day. And thanks to everyone on this forum who has served.

An experiment
It appears that the directory structure is more for us to keep things straight than for the car. As an experiment I took my spare flash drive and dumped a couple hundred mp3 files to it without creating any directory structure and my C7 sorted it based on artist, album, composer, genre etc. depending on what you selected on the touch screen. Almost all of my mp3 files had a genre of misc. But here is the good news if you right click on a file or group of files and select properties at the bottom of the menu and then select the details tab at the top you can change the genre, artist, album etc. to any name you want. So for example my daughter created me a music mix CD that had music from 20 different albums so after I ripped it to mp3 files I changed all of the album names to Vette Mix 1 that way I can play my entire music mix cd by selecting the album name Vette Mix 1. The selection of properties and details on the mp3 files is done using the standard windows explorer stuff on your PC.

However if you go down to 128kpbs or even 64kpbs you notice a difference.
