Playlists:

Connect the MP3 player to a PC to create folders in the MP3 player or SD Card, which can be used as playlists.
If multiple music files are dropped into one folder, they can only be played and shuffled within that folder via the "Browser" icon.

Sorting Files (for Audio Books):

To sort files in the same order as on a PC:
1. Prepare and sort audio files on the PC.
2. Select all files (do not copy yet).
3. Move the mouse cursor to the first file and copy.
4. Paste the files to the MP3 player.
5. Unplug the MP3 player and go to "Browser"; files will be sorted in the same order.
MP3 and SD card memory sort files by edit time. The first file dropped is listed first. Modifying a file name will move it to the end of the list. This trick only works with the "Browser" icon, not the "Music" icon. Remember to add bookmarks when using audio books.

Maintenance Features:

Reset: Poke the reset hole with a thin needle to restore the device to factory settings.
