Title: un nesting files in folders in nautilus
Post by: Garthhh on December 01, 2011, 10:18:48 AM

I just bought a new MP3 player
it won't shuffle more than one folder at a time
I can copy albums into a file
converting them into a single folder, with a bunch of files is time consuming

I'm on ububtu 10,10,
I've tried different players, which all respect the folder structure

I can generate a file, containing all the albums & within that the actual MP3 files
3 levels of nesting...

So your portable MP3 does not shuffle the way you like? You want random shuffle? Or does the player respect a play list? Check your documentation for the player to see if it allows a global play lists.  It is NOT an Apple iPad? What brand?

Also, I don't know the standard MP3 manager in Ubuntu 10.10 or are you using another?
Here is a list of popular MP3 managers.

Check and see if any of these can manage your external USB player device.
