What is the maximum number of tracks that an MG4 Infotainment system will accept read/index from USB drive before crashing

[gravity]

Recently, I plugged my main music USB flash drive into the MG4SE infotainment. It recognized the drive and started indexing the files and the folder structure, then began counting the files as they were being indexed - mostly FLAC files. At a little over 8,000 on the count, the counting froze without concluding the indexing process. As a result, I could not play any music from that USB drive.

As I contemplate this outcome now, does it suggest that the operating system of the MG4 has a cap on the total number of files a USB stick can contain if one expects to use it in the car?

I have just loaded the car with 1536 . mp3 files in my descending folders. It only countered up to 802 files when I inserted the usb but showed the larger number when the load finished. On the initial display it correctly showed 4 versions of a file - one from each of the descending folders. I navigated to the bottom folder and the music played.

However although the car said the music was playing no sound came until I selected radio, got sound, then went back to usb.
