Does this device allow one to select a file folder in order to listen to a particular album, or skip through 4GB worth of songs to select one album?

Yes, it does. Just connect it to your PC (via the built-in USB connector) create your sub-folders and copy your songs into them. You can create any many sub-folders as you want; just remember this rule, you won't be able to play songs in any sub-folder that is more than one level deep. For example: rootfolder/BackstreetBoys/ will work fine, just navigate to the folder and select the first song and it will begin to play. However, rootfolder/mymusic/BackstreetBoys will not work. You can load music into that folder, but the player won't play them. I avoid that problem by limiting all my sub-folders to one level deep. You can, however, create as many sub-folders as you need. Just remember this additional rule, the player will only play the first 99 songs in each folder. It can hold more than 99, but it won't recognize them. If you want more detailed information on this MP3 player, read my review. It includes a comprehensive manual.

You can stop songs from playing, you can set up the next song, and you can select any song you have stored on the jam man device. I use mine all the time and wouldn't be without it. It's worth the price

Yes it will play any music off any size flash drive. And it shows name, album name ect. So yes.

I've put up to 16 gigs but the unit has many limitations. Takes only MP3, can't read info on the tracks heard, No memory of where you stop when unit is turned off. Appears not to read sequentially all the tracks.

I have an android, and all I can do is skip songs. It could be different for an apple product

No , will play any music ,even from a drag and drop . Don't know the max , but I 've found the larger the drive , the more time it takes to go thru the files

I tried a thumbdrive with .mp3 files and it plays sequentially. I have not tried the SD port nor any other music file formats.

No... It will only playback downloaded music, provided it works at all... Which it probably won't.

I have never used this. The unit has a repeat button, to repeat all, repeat album. I hope this helps.

I haven't tried that but I'm pretty sure you could. I personally use an 8GB SD card. However, it doesn't show the sub-directories and also there is no shuffle. So what I did was basically put all my songs in the root folder which works pretty well.

The device comes with a cradle which plugs into a USB port. It effectively becomes a 'drive' at that point. I backed up EVERYTHING from the player to its own folder (just in case I needed to reinstall, et.). I then deleted the preloaded music, etc. and then began to add music to the Music folder. You could use Windows Media Player (sorry-am a PC person so can't address the equivalent for Mac!). However, I just used a normal file manager (am old school): I opened my Amazon music folder on my PC (where I keep my MP3s) and copied them over to the mp3 player. As far as playback- it will do so in alphabetical order of artist (I think)- so Bruce Springsteen and Beyonce will play consecutively. To get around that: if you want the equivalent of playlists- you need to 1) create a folder for the files & put the files there, and 2) rename the files with a precursor number to order the airplay in the desired order. A bit tedious on initial setup, but it's not terrible, either. There may be much easier ways to do this! ha! - but this worked for me. I swim laps (3000 yds 3 x week) and this device performs flawlessly. To me, it makes the workouts so much easier that I'm willing to put up with a bit of file management tedium on the initial setup.

iTunes, windows media player, or just drag and drop. The only thing I don't like is how it switches folders so I leave my albums as on big mp3 rather than break up tracks

I prefer using forScore. It's much cheaper than musicreader's desktop app that's needed for transferring music, and does the job well. The recent upgrade of the app has fixed any reservations I previously would've had about recommending it.

try putting the songs into folders on the sd card. It worked for me. Was able to get about 20 albums on my 2G card.

Yes. The device is able to see folders you place on it and is able to go into subfolders to play music from them. Keep in mind that if you play in say, shuffle mode, it is going to shuffle songs -only- in the selected folder.

i have a older mp3 and it has a shuffle option and that's great but it plays the songs in the same shuffle order every time. sounds funny I have 900 songs in mine but have listened to it for so long I can almost tell u what song is coming on next!

Yes you can, it has skip forward and backward buttons to switch between songs.
