Professional head unit - scrolling track names?

[gtappers]

Hi team..

My 1'er is using the standard "Professional" head unit, and I'm wondering if there's any way to scroll the track name of a file played off USB? I couldn't see anything in the owner's manual, and bugger me if I can work out a way from the head unit buttons themselves.

It seems a bit odd not to have it at all and hope I'm just an idiot missing something simple. Anyone able to crack the mystery?

Thanks guys.

What do you mean?

I can scroll through the tracks no problem and navigate through different folders.

More info?

Okay, I'll try for a better explanation.

Let's say it's "Joseph Bloggs - live at The Entertainment Centre, August 8 2012.MP3" and then I've got another one which is "Joseph Bloggs - live at The Albert Hall, July 8 2011.MP3" ...what I find on the head unit is that it will display something like "Joseph Bloggs - live a" and then the rest is truncated. I can't find a way to show the rest of the filename to distinguish between the two individual files.

In my previous car (Alpine head unit) it would scroll the lengthy filenames, or you could press a button to show the next portion of the filename.

Hopefully that makes more sense.

Ah, I thought that might be what you meant... no there isn't any way of doing it

Oh, crap. What a silly design omission.

Appreciate your quick reply though!

Yeah, but I don't want to rename my collection.

And it was 8.3 I'm young'ish, but not THAT young!

All you can do is press the "track" button when the song is playing and it will display track, artist and album info.
