I appreciate this in itself isn't a helpful response, but have you tried asking an AI tool for assistance i.e. CHatGPT, Google Gemini, Claude etc? I've found them to be helpful with random things like this. They've read all the manuals, forums, spec sheets and so on and can usually give you a decent number of steps to take to fix/troubleshoot.
 
No, the Skoda dealer couldn't offer any ideas. I'm sure there must be a solution, it's not like the car isn't reading the stick.
My Beemer does exactly the same thing Pegs. A more modern arrangement is probably the answer as the others have said. Mine also displays by album or artist with some albums ‘unknown’. I did manage to fix it a few years ago to make them visible using the car system itself, but it was one at a time, and I can’t remember how I did it now. Now I just choose to play something from the choices displayed. All of which I love anyway. Fewer choices aren’t a bad thing. Life’s too short.

Edit, and that’s with USB A.

Asking for a friend, does your Beemer have indicators fitted as standard? Apparently most don’t.
 
Not sure if this would help as I don’t have a Skoda, but have you tried a usb-a to usb-c adaptor to use your usb-a stick?

Something like this, although again I haven’t tried these specific adaptors
