Default Question about "naming" mp3 files on a USB drive for Alpine CDA105.

Is there a certain way you have to name the files/folders and in a certain order? I noticed when playing songs off my USB Thumbdrive, the CDA105 doesn't always pick up all of the songs.

For example: (ingore the ----, they are just for spacing)

-Artist
---Album
----01 Song
----02 Song
---Album
----01 Song
----02 Song

so on, so forth... sometimes when I'm doing a search it won't find particular albums or artist. Maybe my bit rate or codec is too high/wrong for the head unit? Most of my songs are @ 320kbps and mp3.

It will decode:
MP3 Decoding: MPEG-1/2 AUDIO Layer-3
WMA Decoding: Windows Media' Audio
AAC Decoding: ACC-LC format ''/m4a'' file
no matter what level of quality they are.
The naming may be an issue, If you have the manual for it I would read the "CD Playback" section. IF not here it is: http://support.alpine-usa.com/produc...CDA-105_EN.pdf

Yea, I've read over the manual numerous times and thought I renamed everything accordingly but for some reason it's still not finding certain directories or artist/songs in the sub folders. So it leads me to believe that even though I've renamed the files, maybe the file properties are incorrectly named. I'll have to go through and check everything out, ugh... going to be such a long process.
