my J3 doesn't like me browsing folders.

i've been experiencing the strangest thing with my J3 regarding folder browsing.

Oftentimes (used to be once in a while, now it seems most of the time) when i'll click into a folder of some album i'd like to listen to, and when i click on a song, it doesn't play, but rather starts playing the first audio file in the first alphabetical folder in my entire J3 file-system. It doesn't happen aways across the board, but it seems to affect a good number of (*seemingly* randomly-selected) folders.

Now the extra-odd thing is that when a particular set of mp3s is being "boycotted" by the folder browser, I'm still often able to play these songs if i can find them via "artist"/"song"/"album"/etc browsing...but tag-browsing is often not sufficient for me. I prefer to be able to browse my folders.

Weeeird. I think your best bet would be to reinstall the firmware.

I would definitely reinstall the firmware. If that does not help you can always find a trusty paperclip and click the reset button.
