I am using a hardrive based mp3 player called a Neo 35. The Neo ships with a certain level of firmware that is pretty stable.
www.ssiamerica.comSee open neo and products etc.
The Open Neo adds some functionality such as dynamic playlist creation and added menu features for ID3 info and so on. Open Neo supports the ability to select an album or artist and making the whole artist, genre or album play and then selecting another album and within that album selecting tracks to add to the playlist. At some point they intend to add the ability to add several albums at a time to the playlist without having to add them one track at a time.
Adding one track at a time works but is time consuming but for now that is all that is supported. I discovered that I can, on the unit itself select an album and create a dynamic playlist of that album. Repeat this sequence for several albums and them add the individual playlist on top of one another. This works just fine, create a playlist for Artist1, Artist2, Artist3 and so on. Play the playlist associated with Artist1 and then right select the Artist2 playlist and it adds it to the current dynamic playlist. There are several keystrokes on the unit to create a playlist; I would not want to go through the 800 or so albums on my MP3 player.
Is there a way to convert each artist and albums under that artist into a playlist within MC10? I mean an easy way in bulk. If I could do this I would drop my 600 or so playlists into a Playlist folder on the MP3 player. Then I could easily add several of any albums to a dynamic playlist by going to the Playlist Folder.
