do you have to put the music in folders on the sd card?

I really wouldn't know as I've never gotten an SD card for it yet. But probably.

Folders are nice but take some time a get a 32Gb or 64 Gb card for the Zen. Then you can build folders if you want too or you can just place your music in position that you want. The Zen is a tremendous entertainment tool and will bring many hours of pleasure. Above all, do not limit yourself to possibilities. Happy Listening. Gramps.

No Joan, you don't. I just transferred them over via the usb cord attached to my laptop and the mp3 player. It's very fast.

You don't have to, but the zen is basically supposed to reiterate those into folders within the player. From my experience, this doesn't always work, it's supposed to, however.

Unfortunately not... and in fact it only appears to cycle through the songs in the "root" folder of the USB drive. Another improvement would be to have a "random" or "shuffle" setting for the songs, but as it stands... the only option is to listen to them in the order they appear on the drive. Still, despite these limitations, the little unit has great sound and the FM radio is very good.

Although I haven't used it yet, I have an app called AppMgr that will do that. Why haven't I used it? Using the SD card for music, not apps...:-)

I'm not an expert at this but I do not have any problem storing my MP3 files so they can be played in my Onkyo Audio & Video Receiver. So far, no songs have been skipped when it was played. When I did copy and paste those files into the flash drive, it's pretty fast. I don't know if this is the answer you are looking for. I like the flash drive - good enough for my use.

Yes you just have to import the CDs and use the hard drive to store the music on

I haven't tried that feature. We are having a difficult time to get it to shuffle in a playlist so I would think if you assigned it all to the playlist it will play it. To be honest, this wasn't a good purchase...freezes up quite a bit when trying maneuver from folder to folder.

thanks for your question i do have music on the player but only in one folder but it should play separate folders so yes it will play separate folders it is a very good music player if your music files have album art associated with them it will show album art- its like this if you have one song in one folder then you have another folder in the same folder that has a lot of songs as the one song in the one folder it will play the songs in the folder after playing the first song hope that makes sense -----lol

You should be able to drag and drop music files to it as its recognized as a storage device, so yes. If your Android phone is recent, you can download samsung muse app and add music that's on your phone via mini usb attachment.

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.

Yes you can set the songs to shuffle. At the bottom of the screen to the right of the "open" icon there is another arrow which will bring you to another screen. If you choose mode that will allow you turn on/off the shuffle feature and choose whether you shuffle within the folder or all songs.

I went and bought an SD card and put that in there. I think it takes up to a 64gig card. Without the card it'll hold a few songs with the onboard memory. But I would recommend buying the SD card if you want to put enough music on to listen to for a long ride without repeating songs.

I made one, just like a subfolder on a PC. It comes up, not by my design, under the Music category. I think Sandisk recommends use of "Podcasts" for audiobooks.

Hi Ron, You have to download music midi files to get them onto your SD card. I can't tell you exactly how to do it, as my husband is the one who did it for us. But you can find midi files online. Hope that helps. :)

Yes it does. The thing is, it has separate directories for the built in flash memory and the additional SD card that you can add. As a result, you won't be able to shuffle all of the songs that are saved directly to the player as well as the ones you've put onto the SD card. Anyway, I find the shuffle of pretty bad quality, because it frequently plays the same files over and over leaving a good portion of my playlist as good as forgotten after a while of using just shuffle mode. Of course, it takes a while to hear the same one over again, but with over 7 gigs of music on it like I had, you will still be able to notice especially after listening continuously over daily commutes. If you get this player you'll see what I mean.

I use SD cards and the music on them is MP3. I use old SD cards from years ago that had been in cameras. I didn't even reformat them. I use it plugged in and I love it. I play stuff all night to cover the background noise and some times I leave it on all day. I switch cards often so I have different music on each. I haven't tried it with a stick.

It works the same in Windows. Windows Explorer shows it as two seperate drives, but the unit itself doesn't know the difference between music stored on the main memory and music stored on the SD card.

THe problem is you need to use folders for the songs. If you place too many songs on the root , there is a limitation on the total number of characters the file system can handle. Its a FAT filesystem limitation. I recommend putting your music together in folders for each album. That will fix it.
