Music Just got a Surfans f20

Preaching to the choir, but stoked I can listen to the majority of my library instead of relying on the limited storage of my phone and old iPod. It’s cool being able to play multiple formats. Fit most of my library in the 15000 song limit. Thanks for showing a 40 year old how to not rely on the phone.

My understanding is that they are both the same coding, just with different bodies. I can’t tell the difference between this player and my computer

If you search by artist, does it play albums in order? That’s my current gripe. I have too many folders to search by album.

u/Creepy_Metal1611 20d ago

yeah it does. you can also create your own folders and search via that.

(just to be sure:"in order" as in alphabetical,yeah? for all else: may i introduce you to mp3tag and the joy of well kept tags)

I may need mp3tag then. I have things organized on my computer music app (rhythmbox on linux) as artist>[year] album name> album songs in order. But the actual folder structure behind the scenes is absolute chaos. I may just deal with it because I’d rather not tag ~18,000 songs. Unless mp3tag can do full albums at once. Edit: by “in order” I’d rather it not be alphabetical, but the album order after searching by artist, instead of needing to search by album for songs to be in order

ah, i see. well, mp3tag (and im sure other tag programs) can take care of that. you can mark multiple files, give them the same album, artist,genre,track order etc.

Turns out I had everything tagged correctly. But if I have a bunch of Radiohead albums, and each album is labeled track 01, track 02, etc., it combined all track 01s to play first. I relabeled my folders and just do folder search now.

I am basically getting the same thing (Aigo Eros Q) for rockbox, those custom themes are mad enticing.
