The wee car is fun to drive, and a breeze to get in and out - the doors are even larger than on my old 169 coupé.
Slowly getting to grips with TomTom satnav, still think it's rubbish, compared to my 12 yr old Garmin 3790, but I'll get used to it, eventually.
One thing is rather disappointing though: the head unit - not sure what this particular MB system is called - is being "clever" in its media handling, as in ignoring the filenames on USB and extracting actual music titles to display.
That's all very nice, except I spent a couple of hours putting the 600-odd collection of our favourite music [mostly classical, and a few rock/jazz, etc numbers] together, appending appropriate numbers in front of the file names, so they look like this, and play in this particular order:
Now it's been played alphabetically, and that's exactly what I didn't want - half of the names start with "Concerto" ha ha, and I don't want, for example, to listen to an entire opera in one go - that's why the classical pieces interspersed with modern ones - okay, so the newest is probably 39 years old, but hey!
Other than selecting random playback, which is less than ideal, though better than alphabetical, is there a way to inflict a particular order on the smart @r$£ head unit?
And before the RTFM answer: I have, every page - always do - nothing about playback order there. The Q&A app doesn't help with this either (no full version of the manual online or in Guides app - new generation doesn't read stuff I guess).
I hope Mark or Richard would know the answer ... not exactly a common knowledge kind of question
