You have a good idea there. Add a playlist function to the transfer software.
That would let the transfer software software do the job of finding the files
on the memory card. Then as you added or deleted files from the playlist it
would update the playlist on the Book Port. Then on the Book Port end I would
just add a choice to the settings menu that would allow you to pick the
playlist that you wanted to use at any given time. My guess is that the actual
playlist file in the BookPort could be some sort of index file that could
indicate where the file to be played resides on the memory card. The only
files you would be able to add to a playlist would be ones on the current
memory card of course. But, with more than one card a person could have a good
choice of playlists.

: Yes, I personally feel this would be a great feature, but I am wondering if
: any sorting or play list creation could simply be handled by the transport
: software? The way I would imagine it working is to have commands available
: to sort, or customize the list of files the transport software would be
: sending to the BP. Perhaps several different types of automatic sorting and
: maybe a custom mode where one can choose to move an item up or down in
: position within the list of files to be sent. Maybe there could also be a
: way of using recognized play lists like m3u?

: First, does this seem like something that would be desirable?

: If so, how do you see such a feature working?

: We should probably have put this onto the about-to-be-created new Book Port
: Beta list, but we'll throw it out here for general discussion.
