It surprises me >that there is no stronger demand. I would ALSO particularly love to see sort by [directories] [playlists] [mp3s-by-file] OR [mp3s-by-timestamp-new-at-top] I keep all my files by artist, then in the artist directory I have playlists for all their albums. I nearly always listen to (a) an album, or (b) the entire jukebox on shuffle ...so to have playlists availble at the top of the dir listing would be a god-send for me ...and, I am sure, others like me too. There are two patches in the patch tracker for both these features. I went to add the extension-sorter last night, but you've just changed all the settings/RTC/disk code and I need to try and work out what you've done so I can add a setting for what sort order was chosen by the user. I'm sure it's really obvious, I just need to find where to look ;) (all hints greatfully received) ...I think for file sorting options, using the disk-saved settings is most appropriate. You are not the first to want this, but you could well be the man to make it a reality :) BC >My standard situation is that I browse my folders (representing albums), >looking for the new stuff I added recently.
