What is the music organization and menus like on it? Does it support playlists? If so, can you import them? Generally how intuitive are the menus?

The organization has improved greatly with the newest firmware, no playlist support yet but it will come. The menus are very intuitive for my taste, it's definitely not an Apple product (which I think is a good thing)You can use artist/album/song browsing and you can also organize into folders so you could actually set up folders with your songs as playlists, so if you were so inclined I'd make a folder called "1Jogging Music" and have your music for jogging in there are just use the folder view to find it.

No playlist support, so far, and you can't import them. Will show artist, album, genre. But the sound quality makes up for the poor interface.

With firmware 3.3 (12/23/14) there is now Playlist support for the X3 as well as a graphic equalizer. Info on the Playlist support comes with the 3.3 download. So the X3 is now closer to the X5 in features.

The files are organized by Album, Song, Artist, Favorites. You can create your own playlists in separate folders. File management is drag and drop. Organize your files as you like them when connected to a computer.

Not exactly my dream come true in terms of organization. The way I found around it is to organize my files in different folders on my computer and only then copy the files to the memory chip on the XiiO. At the end waht matters is how many songs you will save on file and how well you can organize them... Best of lucks!

Yes, it has very intuitive menus. This is my 5th MP3 player - I have an iPod and a Sandisk currently in service and a Sandisk and an RCA that I've retired. I'm not a huge fan of the Samsung brand, but this looked so nice, it kind of jumped off the shelf at me. This is a VERY slick little player. Great sound, absolutely simple to use, intuitive command menu, easy-to-manipulate, unambiguous buttons. Solid, sleek construction, second only to iPod. Easy-to-read very visible display, even for my tired old eyes. The player is just the perfect size, too. Has a hole for a lanyard, but lacks a carrying case, which would be a nice addition. It also has a true shuffle function that doesn't repeat songs, like many of the little players seem to do. No second thought here, this is a fantastic product.

I dont know if it's possible to create categories of music. I have my music in a seperate folder on my sd card, but it just shuffles.

You get some functions, but not complete control. The up and down arrows raise and lower sound, the left and right will skip to next and last song, and the play button will pause or start it. You cannot, however, navigate menus or anything like that. Its best to start a playlist and use the remote for some simple commands

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.

Yes you can make a playlist. This is the easiest MP3 player to add music to that I've found so far. But for sure there is a playlist available. Good luck

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.

There aren't any menus at all to sort through, but the downside is that you can't save presets or control much via MIDI. The patch bay is a bit daunting at first, but I find it much more fun and intuitive than anything with an LCD screen.

Yes, you are able to set up customized playlist. You can make them as simplistic or complicated as you like. This is a great feature about this Walkman!

Yes it does, II don't use them so often because I use personalized folders instead, but there are two main functions in the menu so you can use your own playlist. The first one is "Playlist" wich you can edit in your computer and then transfer it to the device And the second one is "bookmark", in this one you create your list from the files within the Walkman, no software or PC connection needed.

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.

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

I think there might be a shuffle setting but it is very difficult to see the name of the songs. Whatever order you have your songs listed in a folder, is the order that they play. I found the interface difficult to navigate. I bought this for my 3yr old and decided to return it.

Yeah, it acts just like another drive. You just drag the music files over. Very simple. Great player.

I just dragged my iTunes music directory over and it read and played the music. The only thing I found was it didn't recognize the play lists

If I recall, it can make playlists on the go. I returned mine. After being a Creative user for many years, I found this to be absolutely horrible.

You can have it organized into folders, or just a long list. You can put songs into playlist for quick play. (That's what I suggest)
