Today I discovered I can use Mp3Tag software to prepare a playlist for several mp3 files that are saved within an artist folder with a set of album subfolders on my Mac (or PC).
Here is my folder structure. Artist Folder -> Album 1, Album 2. Album 3, Album 4.
Each of the album folders has 12 mp3 files. I loaded the Artist Folder into Mp3Tag and all 48 music files appeared in the playlist & tagging screen. Then I clicked on File -> Playlist (all files) and saved a m3u playlist into the Artist Folder.
Then I can copy this set of folders into the Music folder on my Clip Sport (or my micro SD card). Then the playlist file I created on my hard drive automatically works on my Clip Sport. (No need to create a new playlist file on the Clip Sport.)
The default options for Mp3Tag Playlist creation are perfect for my desired result.
Check box “Write extended info” %artist% - %title%
Chck box “Entries relative from work directory”
Check box “Show confirm filename dialog”
Check box “Don’t create directories”
