I have a thumb drive formatted appropriately. I just created a folder that contains a large batch of D64 images. I want to be able to play through them through The C64. When I load the folder, I only see a small fraction of the total amount of images. Maybe 5 percent. I can't for the life of me figure out why one image appears in view and another one doesn't.
Any ideas?

Any ideas? Page 53 in the manual: Both the File loader and Media access options present a list of the first 256 folders and compatible files stored in the current folder, displayed across the screen in columns.

Ahhhh ok, that makes sense then. What's strange to me is the resulting list of 256 files is evenly split between 0-A-Z.... I suppose I would have assumed that the first 256 files up at the top would appear and not a random selection of the entire collection. I suppose this means I'll have to break these files out into folders containing smaller amounts in each. I have my work cut out for me! Thank you!

Most likely the files are stored in a different order on the drive. It is the order they were actually copied in. That might be for example by date. So the first 256 files that were copied to a specific directory will show up - THEC64 simply does not look at the full file list to get the first 256 by alphabet or so.
