I have about 2600 songs on a USB drive. How exactly to a set up the drive to play on a 2017 RX 350. On my 2016 Tacoma I just put it in and it comes up. Not so on the Lexus.

You will need to select "Media" and then "USB" to play the songs. Make sure they are on MP3, WMA or Wave form only.

I will give that a try.. Thank you..

Note that if you want to play all 2600 songs, you will have to split them into separate folders of ~250 songs each. The RX media player can only see up to the first 255 songs in each folder.

Does the usb search artists and other ways?
can you do say a folder structure of artist, then album folders inside?

Hope that makes sense.
I also have an old school 160g ipod classic connected, but it has disconnected a few times now. I haven’t figured out why, I remote started, ipod playing. Got in and the ipod was disconnected on the restart. That happened today.

From what I can see, the folders are just sorted alphabetically. It doesn't look at the metadata.

I believe the drive must be formatted as FAT32, not NTFS. That also means the maximum size supported is 32 GB.

The system can read metadata and you have the options of sorting through artist, album and folder.

The folders are not sorted alphabetically, but by write order. Look up a utility called "DriveSort".

That is correct. The max size USB is limited to 32Gb due to FAT32 formatting.
