Does it support folder switching? It is very important feature when using micro sd with too masny songs.

Yes, it definitely supports folders.I use that function every day, because I listen primarily to podcasts with it, and folders are my method to organize them.

MicroSD cards have not changed in the past few years so I would not imagine there to be a software / compatibility problem you mention. I think you got very unlucky. I bought a 4GB Micro SD by Sandisk and the unit recognises it without any problem. I must admit though, that I had difficulty copying my files from my PC to the Expansion Card. I could not do it with Windows Media Player (even though it recognised the expansion card). To copy files to the MincroSD I had to put it in my cell phone and connect my phone to my computer! Ugh! And one last problem, after using a MicroSD card in the player, the battery life diminished from about 3 hours playing time to about 30 minutes.

Storage size limited by current production technologies. I have tested running 16gb microSD modules on this device and it seems to work pretty well. However, if you are loading large songs (more than 1 hour), expect some lag when switching between songs.

No. There is no way to separate your music into folders. The only way to get to a certain song is to scroll until you find it. Holding down the toggle to change songs brings up a menu that lets your change folders from music, voice, data, and settings. You cannot add certain folders for songs.

I did not facing this problem. I have more than 100 songs (mp3), and it working well.At first, I also wonder it will function correctly, so i have tried to press next/previous button then the songs is randomly changed.So, maybe you can try to press the next/previous button to see whether it change to others song.

Yes, it does have that capability, although I haven't used either one of them. I have always been in a hurry when I used it and just transferred the files via the SD card.

Actually there is a limit. From page 63 of the user's manual "This unit can recognize a total of 9999 (a maximum of 999 files per folder)." Although my entire mp3 collection tops out at around 7500 folders & around 375gb. Appreciate the response though. I'm upset they couldn't have done something about the file limit on last year's models, as it was the same for 3 model years.

I just bought one of these a few days ago. Yes, it does have the mode where you can drag any files onto the device. So far, I have only dragged MP3 files onto it. But the instructions (and many other web forums) say it could actually be used as a simple flash drive - so I am guessing you can *store* any type of file you like. I am not sure what fule types it will recognize and actually play.

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.

You can switch from folder to folder. You have to hit the folder button twice, then the up and down arrows on the remote. You have to actually select a song with in the folder using the folder button to play the song. It is kind of aggravating and takes a few tries though.

Hi there. I have 32 gb flash drive and am able to get into subfolders without any problem. Also tried with phone storage with in 64gb and not issues. Able to play any song from the root and sub folders as well.

Don't know if it will help but I only have WMA files on my computer so I copied them onto mini SD and it plays greathad to copy/paste in the "Songs" mode it wouldn't work by way of Artist folder because you had to manually advance each artist while listening hope this helps good luck! it is an awesome little player holds a charge for a very long time and the sound is pretty amazing for being such a little dinky thing

As far as I've been able to determine there is no shuffle feature. However, given the number of songs you can load not really an issue (at least for me-I use this on my bicycle). It does retain the memory of where you stopped. It picks up at the beginning of whatever song was last playing-so if, for example, you stop near the end of a song the next time you turn it on it starts at the beginning of that song.

not exactly. It will only play items in the current folder that is open if you choose to open a folder rather than choose to play by either music or movies. IE: From the main menu you can choose movies, music, photos or folder. If you choose movies, it will play all the movie type filess on your drive one after the other (avi, mpeg, mkv etc.) If you choose music, it will play all the music type files (mp3, wav, wma, etc.) if you choose folder, it will play all the file types shown in that folder, but will not play anything in a sub folder.

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.

Sorry...wish I could help...I just put all my music on SD cards...works really well...If this is a new machine return it...If it's an older machine might just need a lens cleaning.

Honestly, I've never used just a micro sd card. I've always connected it with my iphone or my mp3/mp4 player. I do know however that you can control the found settings from the device connected instead if changing it by hand on the speaker. Also if you get a call in the middle of listening to the speaker that's connected to the phone, it resumes without having to hit play again. Plus, the sound bumps. It sounds like it's a much more impressive speaker. Worth every penny!
