CarPlay

CarPlay browsing

Folders, Playlists, Tags, and Up Next tabs — with search under Folders.

Introduction

Browse your library safely in the car. Stow uses Apple's standard CarPlay templates — four tabs, big touch targets, letter-based search.

Search

  • Open Search from the Folders tab.
  • Browse by letter groups (A–F, G–L, …) designed for in-car use.
  • Search titles, artists, albums, folder paths, and filenames.

Tips

  • Large folders show the first 100 tracks in CarPlay — use iPhone for huge lists.
  • Stow's iPhone themes don't apply in CarPlay — Apple controls in-car appearance.
