Does the X5 jump subfolders?

So if you say in one folder and you have a subfolder called "live" would it jump to this folder when the current folder has finished?

e.g -

Artist
Artist\Live

Do you mean when you have songs and subfolders in a folder?
Isch don't think so, but who organizes sound like this?

Or do you mean if one folder is finished if it jumps to the next one?
then the answer ist yes. it jumps from sibling to sibling and when all the siblings are used up it jumps to the cousin and so on.

It can't do both, it would get into a logical conflict.

How does this differ? As it would also mean skipping folders to get to the next song.

Yes that's what I meant.

So when an album is finished it would start playing say the live or bonus tracks. I have a few albums with a bonus subfolder inside them. I was hoping I wouldn't have to move all my bonus tracks into the same folder as the album. I like them to be seperated.

I never seen people use a family tree before to describe such a feature.

its widely used...

i just tested it for you. it does work, i was wrong... first it plays all the children folders and after them the siblings and their children, then the cousins and their children

Artist1/Album1
Artist1/Album1/Bonus
Artist/Album2
Artist/Album2/Bonus

Fantastic cheers.

Can you set it to do:

Artist1/Album1
Artist1/Album1/Bonus
Artist1/Album1
Artist1/Album1/Bonus

And back again?

if it's like the m3--and it should be-- you can if you go to album 1, press menu button and play now, the set boundary sub-folder and repeat. if you have more folders in album1 but you want to skip them you can always use the d-playlist
