Changing playlist to current song's playlist - 01/04/2003 11:19

I haven't seen this feature yet so if it's there please let me know. I was wondering if there's a way when listening to all of the songs on the player, if you run across a song you like and want to play the album (playlist) that the song resides in, is there a quick shortcut to change the entire playlist just to that albums playlist without having to cycle through all the playlists and do a search? I have 200+ albums on mine and would love to be able to jump into the album of the current song I'm playing with the press of a button so I don't have to look down at it player when driving. Does anything like that exist, and if it doesn't could it maybe be added to a future revision?

Yes. Turn off shuffle. (From the main menu or by pressing zero on the remote.)

It will un-shuffle "around" the current song, so that everything is in playlist order. You'll be in the middle of that album. Details here.

Another similar option is here.

Both of these, I believe, assume that the entire album is in the shuffled playlist.

It would, again, be nice if the player remembered playlist information even after the running order is generated.

Very cool stuff, I've been around here for years, never really posted, but I guess I managed to skip that part of the FAQ. Thanks!
