can you organize songs by folders, rather than playlists or title

What's up "Doc" the way I do it is- save songs to a folder in my computer hard drive, then transfer to San Disc Clip Sport in folder.

Hi Terry,To be clear then..... can you go to that folder, select the first song to play and it automatically play thru every song in the folder.
1933156
You can, but it still won't play them in any order that I could work out. Not numerical, not in track order. Just some random order.

You can fast forward, shuffle, repeat all that. The downside to this player is moving through folders. I have my music organized my artist & album making 88 folders filled with mp3 files. There's no quick way to get through the folders; such as going from folder 40 to 80. Also the screen shows no data on the files or folders.

Two approaches will help significantly: 1) Organize your songs in folders. How your choose to format the folders is up to you. They could be based on artists names, decade that the songs came from, or alphabetical groups (example, the first folder could be named "A - F" and you put all songs in it that begin with the letters A - F. The second folder could be named "G - K" and you put all songs in it that begin with the letters G - K, etc.) This way, if you scroll through your folders a lot quicker than song-by-song. 2) Some people don't know that you can speed scroll by pausing a song (briefly press the on/off button), briefly move the scroll wheel forward and then let go (a solid black square will appear on the left-hand side of the display window), and then move the scroll wheel forward or backward (don't let go this time...keep it in the forward or backward position). You'll speed scroll through all the song much faster.

I use folder view which is the same as a Windows computer which is the default. I Name all the folder and sometimes the files(songs) using copy and paste then you can control where everything falls in a list on the front panel of the unit. PS I use the usb input with a 128gb thumb drive the sound is the best of all the inputs

Yes you can shuffle, you can shuffle everything, the songs within an album, the songs within a genre, or the songs by an artist. That said, mine has the peculiarity that after it's been playing in shuffle mode for a while it takes itself out of shuffle mode and starts playing all the songs in alphabetical order. Must be some sort of software bug. But not a problem. Just takes three clicks to put it back in shuffle mode.

Not that quick, but if you navigate to Music, scroll down and select Songs, they're listed in alphabetical order.

you just have to load indiviual songs on in the order you want. The shuffle is a very simple device: play/pause, volume, and skip/reverse

Yes it does! That was something that I was concerned about too. It doesn't matter where the songs are stored, the player sees all locations as a single library. You have the option to display artists, albums, genres or songs. Once you start playing a song from any group you can select to play all of the songs in that group randomly. So if you want to randomly play all of the songs that you have on your player randomly you go into Songs. There's a learning curve with the user interface, but after you get the hang of it you'll find it easy to use.

You can't select tracks from a thumb drive. The songs will play in the order they are listed. You can, however, skip over a song.

Yes, you play by a folder by selecting "folder" from the main menu and then select which folder you want to use.You can also select songs by genre or album.

What I have done is create a smart playlist that contains all songs of a particular genre. This can be easily shuffled. It's round-about, but it works.

no, once you choose one that is the one you are in, it doesn't go to the next artist or album in sequence. (And won't skip to a new artist or album even if you shuffle.) The way to include many and various is to create a playlist and then shuffle that if you'd like, so it skips around and mixes it up.

Yes, you can put the music into folders and play the music in a specific folder.

There is a way to create different folders on the device but you can't manage the order they play in.

yes it has shuffle function. I read some complaints from other viewer saying that it doesn't shuffle all musics when they have a lot of musics in it. For me personally I don't shuffle musics but I create different folders and use folder play depending on the mood. It is totally up to your choice.

Yeah it sorts your music alphabetically. You can use windows media player to organize, drag and drop into the player.

I am running Windows XP and after ripping the CD to an MP3 file, I check the 'PROPERTIES' of each song and in the Advanced tab you can check the song's name, artist and album name and its relative position in the playlist. I then transferred the folder named the same as the CD onto this SONY. During playback, you have the option of a) playing all songs by name in alphabetical order regardless of the album or artist, b) by album name or c) by artist name.
