Hi Steve: According to the menu in that feature shuffle is turned off. And I
still don't understand why if I only select a specific mp3 folder to be added
to a play list, items from other folders that I have not selected would appear.

Marta,
I wonder if you have Shuffle turned on. That would cause the behavior you
describe.

I don't know about the icon, but I've had no luck getting my braille plus
to deal with play lists in a manner that would allow the unit to play the
tracks of an album or an audio book in order.
First I copied the audio book to the music folder. Then I went to the
music application, created a new play list to accommodate the first folder of
my mp3 audio book. Then I went to files, from the music application, looked
for the first folder of the book, selected it with the pound key, and then
chose the option that would allow me to send that folder to the newly created
playlist.
The files were added, but then when I went back to the playlist and chose
play all, the tracks were played out of order, and what's more, the unit
selected portions of another audio folder that I had in the system, which I
hadn't gone anywhere near when I was highlighting the first CD to be sent to
that playlist.
I then erased that playlist, created it again, and tried highlighting the
tracks individually so as to add them to the playlist. The problem is that
after I selected the first track with the pound button, each time I would move
to the next track it would select the previous tracks again. So I ended up
with more than 200 files in the playlist that should've only had 27 tracks,
because it had selected each track in that folder multiple times. The only way
that I seem to be able to hear my audio books in an orderly fashion is to put
just one book at a time in the music folder, choose author from the music
application, and then play all songs. But getting the unit to look at each
folder as separate albums and playing them accordingly, or getting it to play
the selected tracks in a playlist in order do not work for me at all.

I have two suggestions for you that might make this easier. If you're in
Files
Mode, you can mark things as you mentioned, but all do stay selected, so
you
may want to mark everything first, then add it all to the playlist at
once.
But, in that case, they may not add in the order you like. so, instead
of
selecting the folders first, when in Files Mode, highlight the folder you
want
to add, press the Menu key, and arrow down to the option that says "Add
all
files in this folder to a playlist". This will allow you to add each
folder
individually, and the songs should add in the order they appear in each
of the
folders, as you are correct in that playlist items, when added, are
appended,
not put in a specific order. When all selected items are added though,
the
selected files are put in an order before they are added. does this make
sense?
