Both are possible.garygid said:With the USB flash drive, can you "shuffle" through just the selected/open folder, or is it only a shuffle-all-on-drive?

evnow said:My music is in hierarchical directories : genre - artist - album. Does Leaf handle 3 levels ?
I could overload the album name to conatin genre+artist+album.prberg said:It handles it fine, the only limitation is that it will only show you the 'album' level folder. So all your music will come up listed by album name. I don't necessarily love that method of organization, but it does work. I guess I could copy all my music into 'artist' folders and then I could have it by artist.. or make genre folders and do it by genre. It would be cool if the leaf could sort using the data in the MP3 tags. So we didn't have to do all the sorting and organizing. Maybe in the next version of the LEAF software (version 1.1?).

If you tap the center console with your right knee, it's right in front of there..
Press Play again to pause ?Randy said:1) When playing CDs or from the USB stick, there is no way to pause the song being played (!)
You can turn off the stereo with one button, and of course you can hold the down volume button until the song gets low in volume. But there's no way to pause that I can see.
Check the manual. It explains in what order the songs play. From the Maxima manual - it will play in the order the songs appear in the directory ("how it is stored"). Yes - not how it should - in the track # order.2) The stereo doesn't seem to be aware of track numbers in the tags. It plays songs in a random order, even when the menu is set to "normal" and not shuffle play. My mp3 files have IDV1 and IDV2 tags with track numbers populated, and they play in a non-numerical order that isn't alpha order either. I even redid a USB stick and copied the files one at a time in track numerical order and they didn't play in that order. I can't seem to figure out what the play order is based on. It will tell you what folder number is playing, and that it is track 5/12, but that doesn't correspond to the REAL track 5...It does display Artist, Album, and Song title tags, just no track number.

Still thinking about this...
Any ideas?
I use TagScanner. Very nice freeware. Both for editing tags and for organizing actual files/folders.prberg said:Is there a music organizing software that could help us there? itunes doesn't give me enough options for the way that is orginizes the music folders.
Don't see that - "additional figure" ?Randy said:Ah, good. Except that your scan alludes to an additional figure showing the playback order of compressed audio files? Is it any different?
No - they just mean the figure on that page (this is from the pdf).Randy said:The last bullet item on the page that references the "Next figure"? Or maybe they mean the figure that's on the page?
