Play all music on USB key?

OK, this may seem like a silly question, but how do you play "all" music on a USB key after telling to play an artist or song?

 

For example, if I say "Play song Hotel California" it will play Hotel California, and nothing else. Hitting next just plays Hotel California again.

 

The same thing happens if I say "Play artist Eagles", it will only play the Eagles. How do you get out of that and get back to shuffling all songs on the USB key?

 

TIA!

“Play <device name>” : Play music from a specific device identified by name. 

The device name is the name displayed when the device is first selected as an audio source.

 

There is a bunch of options for the "play <    >" command.

 

“Play Artist” : Begin a dialog to enter a specific artist name.
“Play Artist <artist name>” : Begin playback of a specific artist.
“Play Album” : Begin a dialog to enter a specific album name.
“Play Album <album name>” : Begin playback of a specific album.
“Play Song” : Begin a dialog to enter a specific song name.
“Play Song <song name>” : Begin playback of a specific song, if available.
“Play Genre” : Begin a dialog to enter a specific genre.
“Play Genre <genre name>” : Begin playback of a specific genre.
“Play Playlist” : Begin a dialog to enter a specific playlist name. 

“Play Playlist <playlist name>” : Begin playback of a specific playlist.
“Play <device name>” : Play music from a specific device identified by name. 

The device name is the name displayed when the device is first selected as an audio source.

Thanks @redwngr I guess I'm not understanding or I'm doing something wrong.

If I'm on my USB key, and select an artist, (or song) it will continue to play that artist. I can go to FM and come back to USB, it will continue with that artist.

 

I tried saying "play USB" and it switches over to USB, but continues on that 1 artist. How do you "exit" playing a single artist or song?  can't find a way to "shuffle all songs" or something.

 

thanks

Does the usb you are using display a 'name' when it is plugged in?

 

Try using that name - "Play <usbname>

"Play usb' probably returns to playing the usb in the same mode as it was last used.

 

Is it playing songs in the order they are saved on the usb? 

 

When playing  a usb/album/playlist/artist there should be a 'shuffle' icon that can be pressed. 

(so the songs included in the shuffle would depend on what songs were included in the current play mode)

@redwngr no name is displayed on my usb, it just says "USB" on the left menu. Maybe i need to take it out and give it a name on my computer?

I think you need to make a playlist with all of the music in it, so you can then say "Play playlist [name]" and it would select from the full list of songs. Down side would be that it would probably play the same song to start, but with shuffle I think you'd be ok after that.

Hello, I guess that you listen to music via Apple music app?

I'm using a USB key.

 

I still haven't been able to figure this out. The only way I know how to do this is to:

  • Say "Play song Hotel California"
  • Now I'm stuck on this single song.
  • To get out of it, I press the "browse" button
  • Select "songs"
  • Click on any song (doesn't matter what)
  • Now when pressing "next track" it'll go to a random song.

 

Pretty weird there's not a "exit artist" or "single song" option. I think ford is "shuffle all"

I had this problem when I first got my Camaro.  I think I had to turn off shuffle and turn it back on.  But that was 8 years ago, so...

      Gas fill door

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
