It looks for a file called dirname.mp3 or such, and plays this while file browsing, for the folder you're in or over. So you can send a TTS engine script off to have this in each subdirectory. I don't know how well TTS does with artist names, etc. An internal pronounciation dictionary won't help much here. Jörg > Hey deep the ideas coming sir!
