MG4 front USBs

The SE and the Trophy models (including the X-Power) work differently in this respect. You need someone with a Trophy model to sort this out.

Mine is an X-Power. Sorry I wasn't specific.

Yes, I saw that in your profile. I'm pretty sure there is an answer, but I don't know what it is.

Thank you for getting back anyway, it's appreciated.

Anyone with a Trophy model should be able to help you I think.

Hi.
I collected my MG 4 on Saturday and have a small card reader plugged in to the usb c input in the centre console. It's got a 64g. Micro SD card in it which has probably 32gb of music files on it (MP3 or flac mostly). The usb music player finds the music but doesn't allow shuffle. Can you give me pointers to how you got yours to work please? Thanks.

Thanks for trying, but I'm afraid it doesn't!
The shuffle button is greyed out; asking 'hello MG' to turn on shuffle gets an "I'm unable to turn on shuffle in the current music source" response too. It also shows 'no music/songs' on the left, while showing a song on the right. When you skip it forwards, the next song is in alphabetical order. I'm going to assume they all will be and will scroll accordingly.

I have been experimenting. I deleted around ½ of the music from the stick and tried it again. That time on the left I got a list of songs on the stick and a 'play all' option at the very top. When I did, I was able to ask MG to turn on shuffle. It did so.
However, when I pressed the shuffle icon, I was unable to turn shuffle back on.

There's quite a bit of odd about the infotainment in this car!

One of the problems I noticed:

When you press the "Music" button or widget, you often get to the default "Bluetooth music" tab of the tab-bar! It looks almost the same as "USB music" tab, and has the similar set of contols — but they certainly don't work when you are playing the USB-stick.

So, one must select the "USB Music" tab explicitly, and there you have the full control.

Yes, I have noticed that too.
However that's not the cause in this instance.
