“. Why folders? Tags work fine.”
Tags don’t work fine if they are missing or if there are slight variations in the album or artist tag, and some items sort separately. Tags don’t work fine for classical music, where the artist tag might have the composer’s name or the performer’s name. If there were separate tags for composer and for performer, then tags would work much better. Tags don’t work well for podcasts that you want grouped together. Who wants to have to edit tags so the podcast can be put on the player to be listened to once.
“AM would be impossible for a unit this size as the antenna which is a carbon rod with a coil would make the unit much larger. With FM, the earphones are the antenna.”
AM radio would make the unit slightly larger, but not huge. Have you seen some of the very small AM/FM radios? Adding AM to a player that already has FM wouldn’t increase the size much.
