What does FOLDER mean on a car radio?

[DiEzra]

FOLDER on a car radio refers to a folder, which in the context of a car means the ability to switch between audio folders. Here are the relevant details: 1. FOLDER button: Pressing the FOLDER button allows the audio system to switch and play audio from other folders, enabling song changes. It's worth noting that some cars may label the FOLDER button as TUNE-FOLDER. 2. Notes: Buttons like PAU, RPT, and RDM can only be used when the audio system is in CD mode. If some buttons don't respond when pressed, it may be because the mode isn't correctly switched. Simply switch to the correct mode.

I've driven several cars and found the FOLDER function on the radio really practical. It works like a folder toggle button in a music library. For example, when listening to songs from a USB drive with categorized folders like 'Classic Oldies' or 'Car DJs', pressing FOLDER jumps to the next folder, saving you from endlessly skipping tracks. With clearly named folders, it's super convenient to operate while driving—just a press to switch playlist styles. I prefer keeping folders under 10; too many can get messy. Older car stereos didn't have this feature, but now it's standard in many new models. A quick tip: don’t use USB drives over 32GB, or the folders might not be recognized.
