is there currently a way to 'jump' to the next album playlist during playback of a song? i'd like to be able to select the main madonna playlist for example, listen to a song or two, and then jump to a different album and continue playback.

Programmatically? I guess it's possible, if you're willing to parse /proc/empeg_notify and jump about.

If you posted in the wrong forum, and meant using the player software, then yes, depending on what you mean. You could press and hold 3 on your Rio remote (no joy with the Kenwood, I'm afraid) to remove the current album completely from the running order. Or, if you want to come back at some point, set a bookmark then either do the above or replace with the playlist you want (using long-press on "Playlists" to get you near your original selection).
