Same MP3 on start-up
I loaded a USB memory stick with a couple thousand songs. The system works fine, the songs play. However, each time I start the car, the same songs play in the same order, from the beginning. I have an old 2005 Audi that resumes playing exactly where it left off when the car was shut down the previous time (even in the middle of a song). Is there a setting I'm overlooking that will allow my Corvette (2017) to do the same thing? I end up punching the next song button multiple times to access new songs. The Infotainment manual makes no mention, nor have any of my searches helped.

I feel your pain (doubly), since my Caddy ELR CUE system (which is basically identical to Chevy MyLink, except for visual "skin") still has the same issue, even after one CUE replacement AND several software updates.
Hopefully, you're still under warranty or purchased GMEPP, so they don't bend you over to do a software update. --- Good Luck!

I experienced the same issue on my '15 C7 3LT for some time. After several complaints to the dealer and two separate software updates (the first one was not applied properly), my "same old song" issue is resolved.

Or do you have it set to Songs, so it will/should go through All the songs on the drive.
As far as shuffle being on or off, I found when I put Shuffle on, it's only on where I happen to be listening to the songs.
In other words, if I have shuffle on listening to songs in an Album or Folder, then I switch to listen to All songs, that's when I'll notice the shuffle isn't on anymore unless I select it.
Either way, it shouldn't start over with the same song every time.
Mine is a 2016 and it always continues from where it left off even if it was in the middle of a song.
Good luck

I finally had an opportunity to check it out again. I did NOT have it set to shuffle. However, after turning shuffle on, it still starts over with the same song. The NEXT song is different with each start-up. I'm listening to songs, not artists or playlists or folders.

When you say the same song, do you mean the same song all the time, as in one Specific Song out of all your songs.
Or is it the same song you were "last" listening to when you shut if off.
Starting off with the same song you were "last "listening to when you shut if off, is normal in shuffle or not in shuffle
And it won't shuffle as soon as you turn it on until it finishes playing the the last song you were listening to when you shut it off.
Now if it always starts at the "Beginning" of the last song you were listening to, that's a bit odd.
But I wouldn't say it's a problem
