My music is saved on USB drive. How can I select which order the songs will be played in? do I have any control over that?

You could alter the names to sort in your desired order. I usually prepend numbers: 01-Song Title.mp3, 02-Another Song.mp3, etc.

No, you don't have a control of that, just select << or >> if you want to skip the current song...

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.

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.

No , will play any music ,even from a drag and drop . Don't know the max , but I 've found the larger the drive , the more time it takes to go thru the files

They are played in the order that the files have been loaded onto the flash drive. I learned this from loading recorded books. I now make sure I load each ripped disc one at a time.

That isn't something I've tried, however the manual says when playing CD/MP3/WMA discs, you can select Normal Play, Repeat Play, Shuffle Play or Program Play. For the USB drive, you can select Single Repeat, All Repeat, Selected Folder Play, Selected Folder Repeat Play, Shuffle Play, Program Play and Program Repeat Play. Does this help you?

uh I have 2 different Sandisks.... if you're not stupid with PC's and know how to edit music files and keep things organized in Windows Media Player, just copy/paste your "My Music" folder right from your computer to the mp3 player and it'll be in the same order....... >.> If things are out of order you need to edit the mp3 tags

When i set up folders, I just put all of my separate artists folders into a single folder named Playlist and it played through everything. Try that and see if 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.

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.

I was successful with playing music from the GOgroove. I had a folder called music on my USB and I put one song in the folder. Once you plug the USB into the GOgroove it will find and play the song. I then tried multiple songs and they played sequentially. All computers will download to the root folders of any drive and it may be easier to put the songs on the USB in the root folders. The GOgroove does play songs from the USB and will find them and play them sequentially from all folders on the USB. The con is that you cannot select the order of play.

The "Shuffle" option plays the exact same playlist each time the Soundfly is powered on. Mine begins with 1638, 1759, 1829, 0603, 0528, 1537, 1534, etc. Is there any way to change this order? It's sad to have over 2000 songs on a 16GB SD card and hear the same songs over and over (and over, and over).I can't believe a product that is excellent in so many ways could be lacking a way to randomize songs. I wouldn't like this with audio books, but for music I would think it's preferred. Thanks!

You can record your own greetings and ad them to the play list. Otherwise, you basically save all the files on the device to your desktop, reorganize and rename them, then put them back on the device. They will play in sequence, so name them in the order you want them played. Also, if you want only one or two of the music files to play, those are the only ones you want on the device.

If you have a usb mp3 player it will not read the music files. If you copy mp3 files to a usb drive (no folders) it will play them.

Unfortunately, this is my biggest gripe about all MP3 players - PROGRAMABILITY! The only way you're going to be able to play the way you want is to build playlists on your computer and then select random play. Or you can use the bookmark feature directly on the Gigabeat and have it randomly play. There is no way to play just an artist or genre folder randomly.

It plays as it is recorder in the USB, if it is alphabetically it plays in that order
