Marvellous what a good night’s sleep can do for your understanding of a problem! I don’t think the idea of creating playlists by genre would work for me, as I would want to shuffle the tracks within that playlist, but SanDisk says I can only shuffle the entire music library on the device:
Quick Tips : Under artists, songs, playlists, and albums pressing “Shuffle List” will shuffle all
songs in music library, not just the songs under specific selected category of artists, songs,
playlists, or albums. In order to shuffle a single album, select one specific album title and
press select, then select Shuffle List.
So my new idea is to use the tag editor to select all the “Bluegrass” genre (for example) and edit their tags to show “Album” is “Bluegrass”. The downside would be the inability to select the original album, as that information will be deleted, but for my requirements, that’s not a big issue. As long as the player can accept that an “Album” can have maybe 1000 songs!
