Default Media files via USB

Hi all, my 1st question from a new owner.

I take my new car this week and having a play in it today, I plugged in my music on a USB stick. (Great sound from it BTW). Like most of us I guess, we have folders with the tracks in each folder. Some will be named after the band with sub-folders, some will be named by the album or like my playlist folders named 60s, 70s, 80s new wave, Summer grooves etc etc you get the picture. Anyway, the brief go I had today showed all the tracks listed singly and in alphabetical order.

My Jag XF shows up as folders and I just scroll until I find the one I want.
The wifes Merc, I have to search but still find the folders listed.

Please make my night and tell me this can be done on the S90. It no doubt can but I couldn`t suss it out today, nor could the salesman.

Basically, is there a way to view folders on a USB?

T.I.A.

Thanks very much simon.
I did read through these threads last night but as they were a few years old, I thought there may have been an 'up to date' fix. I guess not.

Who all uses an MP3 player then? I have an old Cowon J3 I could use. As long as it can display folders I don`t mind which route to go down.

Tried 2 Mp3 players and neither would work via USB cable.

Both hooked up via BT though but doesn`t show up on the screen. I`ll have to use the Mp3 player to navigate through the files but hey-ho. It is what it is.

I have to say, Volvo have screwed up here making the folder structure un-readable.

At least I now have a 64Gb flash drive for the map updates so that`s a plus
