DOES IT PLAY FOLDERS

Yup - well, it can play music in folders - I have all my music on it in different folders for each band. You just connect via usb and put music you want access to in the MUSIC folder on the device. In the settings menu there is a choice of USB connection mode between MTP and MSC, I am on Linux and MSC works just like normal mass storage so i'd bet it is the easiest to do if you want to just copy over a folder of songs. hope that helps!

Yes it does, but do not buy this. It does not play all the files as stated and the remote does not work all the time.

I don't think it does cause then it wouldn't be able to play all iso or file/folder content

I'm not sure. The OS looks a lot like the Patriot Home Box Office OS which will not go into sub-folders. It will only play the main, selected, folder contents. So, my guess, probably not.

yes it does play a usb flash drive, it starts at the beginning of the song that you left it on...

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.

Not sure about how well it manages them under the native interface, but if you install Rockbox is manages them just fine, and you can easily create playlists that use songs from either the internal or external drive, songs in different folders.

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.

I think you have to have all the files in 1 folder you have to play one and the rest just keep playing

Yes, it will play music files (mp3, wma, etc.) on a usb drive and it works with file folders on the drive. You can even use it to charge.

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.

Yes - thumb drive or iPod or iPhone etc. I haven't checked the thumb drive but when iPhone is plugged, it shows artists, playlist tracks etc.So I think it should be able to show folders on thumb drive.

I don't think so. You can organize it into folders, but all songs play in the order they are put onto the mp3.

Yes. You can play your songs in alphabetical order or select Shuffle and the player plays them in random order.
