How much of a USB can the comand system read?

[Worcestershire]

Hi, I have a W212 2012 Executive SE with the Comand system.

I have moved a load of music onto a 128GB USB stick BUT the system is not finding all of the music, when I connect it to the system via the USB point inside the centre armrest.

Is there a limit to how much the system can cope with ?

If memory serves me right the max is less than 32gb maybe even as low as 8gb.

There are also limits with regards to the max number of tracks (files) per folder. It might be 64 tracks per folder, I am not sure. So creating several folders and holding less tracks in each folder might help.

Also, don't use too long file names, or long folder names.

The last thing is the number of nested folders, but this is more likely not the issue here..
