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?

This device sucks. Yes, you have to listen to entire downloads just to get where you want. Also, shuffle doesn't work. Don't buy!

If you go in the Menu, you can scroll to different albums. Otherwise, I keep it on "Shuffle" mode mostly, and it easily can skip to next song when pressing the "forward" button, or backwards for previous songs (song to song). I hope this helps.

Yes but it has a poor navigation interface. Also make sure your mp3s have all Metadata, which will allow you to see song name, album and artist.

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.

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.

I am using an 8gb with no problems.User manual says it supports up to 8gb.I have about 1000 mp3`s and that's not even 4gb.

Yes there is a folder view and you can play the files of a specific folder regardless of artist or album name.

Unfortunately, I wouldn't be able to answer that question. I still have space on the original device and have literally 1,000's of songs.

I looked at the manual and see no way to navigate folders. You can skip from track to track or you can skip 10 tracks at a time. Of course, there is a randomize function for playback which is what I use the most. I have been pleased with the unit. Sound is good and I have had no problems with it.

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.

I currently have them in folders, but it really does not matter. I had them just as files before, but works the same. I listen to my music in shuffle mode, and it shuffles the mp3s from different folders.

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

As far as I've tried, you can only skip to the next song, go back and fast forward. You can also choose music directly from your phone.

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...:-)

You should follow the directions to select the memory card then you will be able to select music from the memory card

That is correct. You can simply put a microsd card in the headphones that contains your mp3s, and the headphones will allow you to play them. The only issue I have had with this is that it plays them in order. You can skip to the previous and the next mp3, but I have found no way to jump to next album, or to play random. This has lead me to the conclusion that I either need to put less on the sd card, or randomize the order on the card, as I don't always want to listen to them one album at a time.

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.
