Hi Anna,

Thanks.  That's how I did my first playlist but I want to be able to customize 
my playlist a little more than Rockbox allows. Although the suggestion you 
described is a quick and painless way to create a playlist that shuffles 
everything on the music player.  Rockbox created a playlist called root.m3u and 
grabbed music     from every folder on my player.

  Hi Michael,

  When you open a folder, a playlist containing all the songs in that folder is 
created automatically.  Most of the time, that's all I do.  I sometimes open a 
folder that contains other folders, go to Playlist, and choose Insert or Insert 
Shuffled.  I have recursive directories turned on (from Playlist Options on the 
General menu), so that a playlist of all the songs is created.  This is how you 
shuffle all the music in Rockbox, for example, or shuffle together all the 
albums by a particular artist.  Now that the file browser talks while music is 
playing, it would be possible to create playlists by inserting files or folders 
into the current playlist, but I've never done that.

  HTH,
  Anna
