My iRiver H320 used to do that, too. But most players these days don't
work like that - they depend on the tagging of the files, in order to
choose/play what you want. If your files aren't tagged correctly ...
oh, well.
I much prefer the other way - I put my own folder structure on the
player, and tell it to start playing at a specific folder. It then
plays all files in that folder, and any sub-folders ...
