  • supports songs in multiple levels of folders
  • recognizes folders as albums
  • songs are ordered by filename so files ripped without a track number in the filename might be out of order
  • supports FAT format, not FAT32
  • displays ID3 tag data (filename and folder name are displayed first, then replaced with Album / Artist and Title in a few seconds, if tags are present.)

I've found that very useful since trying it, it's almost as handy as a real knob.</p> The volume does glide smoothly up and down when you hold the button.

The radio presets are a next-previous arrangement like CD tracks, they don’t have individual buttons except on the remote. That would probably be a deal breaker for me except that I don’t listen to the radio much these days…

You can set names for the radio presets and pop up a list of them to select from too, but it doesn’t have the instant gratification of individual preset buttons…
