I store my music in different folders on a usb stick.
The only way I have found to display Artist Name is by using the Search field on usb, then choose Search folder, choose the desired folder.
You should now see all songs displayed sorted by 'Artist Name - Song Name'
When you want to change the song, choose the desired song which will now display album art on the screen then press the 'back' button to go back to the 'Artist Name - Song Name' view.
Hope that helps, its not perfect but it does make life easier, just remember to use the back button once you choose your song. However the HUD will still display music by Song Name only.
