[Jump down below to the edit I made to see the fix.]
Thanks for all the input. I just spent some time sitting in my car parked in the garage going through all the tracks.
First, it's not the drive. It happens even after I copy the album folders onto a different drive.
Also, all the tracks are playing correctly. What is happening is that the Honda audio system is falsely identifying "unreadable" phantom tracks in between tracks.
For example one of the folders is Simon & Garfunkel's "Live at Central Park". On my laptop, chromebook, mp3 player, it sees this on the drive:
1. Mrs. Robinson
2. Homeward Bound
3. America
etc...
HOWEVER, this is what the Honda Audio System shows:
1. Mrs. Robinson
2. "Unreadable" error message with annoying beeping.
3. Homeward Bound
4. "Unreadable" error message with annoying beeping.
5. America
etc...
It's incorrectly "identifying" and trying to play non-existent tracks.
This is happening with almost all folders. (And again, these are folders that all my other devices handle correctly.)
Has anyone else had this problem? Is there any fix?
EDIT: I think I found what was causing the issue. The albums that were not playing correctly had hidden files. I guess all my other systems/devices have software that is "smart" enough to ignore these files, but not Honda's.
In any case, if you have this issue, look at the thumb drive on your computer and see if there are hidden files. Here is how to do that on a Windows 10 machine:
How to view hidden files and folders in Windows 10:
Open File Explorer from the taskbar.
Select View > Options > Change folder and search options.
Select the View tab and, in Advanced settings, select Show hidden files, folders, and drives and OK.
(Sorry, if you have a Mac, you'll have to find a different solution. And BTW, these files were probably added by my Mac.)
