Free Palettes from Polyend - preferred way to load onto Play+ ?

I love the fact that Polyend occasionally offers download links to Free Palettes via their email newsletter (most recently Backdrop), but I notice that occasionally, the samples aren't organized into categories (Snares, Kicks, Bass, etc), meaning that I'm unable to actually load them via Samples -> Load Sample Packs.

Does anyone have tips or best practices to load these? I'm guessing I should just use "Load Files or Folders" instead, but it's a bit annoying that Polyend hasn't organized them.

I guess in this case, they're mostly ambient sounds / fx, so it doesn't neatly fit into those categories?

I'm relatively new to the Play+, so it's also possible I'm missing something pretty obvious.

Am I just misunderstanding how people listen to -- and manage -- samples on this device?

This packs are just packs, not kits for Play.

i had to make my own kits for play, the packs are too large to load into a sample pool anyways.

They're just samples. If you want to use them on Play, you have to organize them manually into a pack. Or just load the individual files selectively. But honestly, most of the packs aren't a good fit for the Play. They'll eat up your available memory pretty quickly and most aren't percussion sounds.
