Thanks for the info - got MP3tag - will play with it later tonight. I have been playing with the system, but there appears to be no rhyme or reason AFA how long it takes to read and SD card / USB flash drive. I have seen it take under 3 minutes after cranking the car - I thought it might be "learning" the longer the card was in the unit, but then for whatever reason, it goes thru a cycle where it takes much longer to read the card.

It appears resetting the unit may have helped (some)? I was happy to see resetting the unit didn't mean starting from scratch - a lot of settings were retained. 16GB MEMORY STICK (After resetting unit) · Started playing almost immediately · Took 6 minutes 100% Format Read. · Turned radio off, then back on – took 2:30 to start playing music (longer than when originally plugged in stick!) · 2:31 – 60% Format Read (was 13:30) · 3 min – 70% Format Read (was 16:11) · 4:30 – 80% Format Read (was 18:13) · 6 min – 90% Format Read (was 21 min) · 9:50 –

First timer here (go easy on me)! Just had an AVIC-8200NEX installed in my car, and reading music from my USB stick is almost completely useless as it takes so long to read USB sticks, and every time I power the unit OFF / ON, it reads the darn USB stick again! I have some Grace Mondo radios - they take a while to read a 64GB Sandisk Ultra Fit USB 3.0 Flash Drive, but after reading the stick the first time, it does not do so again unless you remove the stick. Even then, I'm not so sure that it has to read the entire stick if you make changes and plug it back in. Called Pioneer - t
