I was wondering how people use the media player (all firmware versions up through R1N035), because for my usages i find it pretty crappy; since i can't find long threads of people complaining about this, perhaps i'm just using it in some bizarre manner.
In general, i:
. make a folder let's say for an entire album of mp3s on my duo
. make a new playlist adding that folder
Now, i am unable to sort these mp3s by:
. filename
. id tag information
this leaves me with a play list i can sort basically by whatever the media player wants to do by default or, even more uselessly, the name of the song.
Also, when playing in a playlist in shuffle mode - it will repeat a song before playing other songs (for example, given songs A, B, C - shuffle will play B, A, B, C). Perhaps this is because something gets reset in the state it stores when i pause playback, or jump to the next song in the shuffle.
So basically, my k750i has an mp3 player which, to me, has the feature set of a junior college programming project. Does everyone else just not have a problem with unsorted playlists and shoddy shuffle, or am i on crack, or ?

Hi, the w800´s media player is different from k750´s but here it goes. I can sort the files by tile, artist or as created.I usually transfer entire albuns so what i do to have the mp3s in the right order (1,2,3...) is adding them first the 1, and so on. U dont have to add one by one just select the whole album selecting first the 1 song and so on, than just drag and drop, it works for me. I dont use playlists couse i usually listen to whole albums so i just use the w800´s interface, however, i have tested the shuffle option once and it seemed to work just fine. I´m using r1n035

i'm not sure how the w800 player is different than the k750i's - from what you've described from sorting, they are the same at least.
i didn't know that adding a mp3s one by one defined an ordering like that -- it's painful, but a solution for ordering - danke.
as far as repeating on shuffle - i listen to shuffle a lot, so maybe it's a relatively rare phenomenon, or else i have uniquely bad hardware which affects the pseudo-random number generation somehow.

what i do is i have a playilist (k750) in itunes. Then i drag and drop ALL the files from the playlist to my mp3 folder on the memory stick.
This will copy the songs alphabetically, so when i start my media player on the k750 they will be ordered by song name (dont want to go to sort -> song title everytime i start!!!)
However when iwant to copy more songs onto the duo, they will simply be added to the end of the list on the media player (so its not in alphabetical order). After enough songs, lets say 10, i delete ALL so that i can copy ALL back and this time they are ALL in alphabetical order.
Do you know what i mean?
edit: when copying onto duo then its basically first copied is first on the media player list

I flashed my k750i with w800i firmware. The Walkman branded media player is loadz better, you actually get a playback screen which gives details about the song as apposed to a permanant list of songs.
For you guys who have flashed to W800i, when you go into 'Service info' then 'Model info' (>,*,<,<,*,<,*) does your model read 'K750i' or 'W800i'?
