I just got my Fit and I'm looking forward to storing music on a usb drive.

Can we program a playlist or does it just play all songs? I like the idea of having every song on my PC on a thumb drive but being able to categorize my music into playlists.

I have an LX. It doesn't look like there's any way to make a playlist on a USB (unless I'm missing something). Heck, I'd settle for a better way to sort albums. (Ie Genre>Artist>Albums.

So unless you want to dump all your disco tunes in the same album, and call it your "Disco Playlist", I don't think there's any other way... :-)

 

It's organized by folder structure and you can nest folders. So if you want a "playlist" you'd just put all the songs you want for that playlist in a folder, and that's your playlist.

you can see how it works in my review video at 12:30

 

M3u files are not recognized :-( I tried my test drive, I created a file and it worked on my pc, but the car failed to see it. I think the best you can do I create folders and number the tracks in the order you want.

 

Thanks guys! Roger roger on the folder 'playlist' function....

I use a program called MP3TAG that lets you do batch operations on all your mp3 files.... like move them to a directory structure based on the name of the file. You could do it by genre too....

For example... I name my mp3s by artist - songname.mp3 .

so artist becomes %1 and songname becomes %2.

I tell the program to "rename" the files to m:\music\%1\%1-%2 and it will create a folder for me called music\artistname\artist - songname. slick. Would be easy to do the same by genre.

Hope this helps someone!

Thanks for the program. I'm using the trial version of dBPowerAmp to convert all my flac files to a compatible format.
