Default Re: Nano Clone, Music Folders, Mac OS X

Relikk,

When I use iTunes to copy MP3 files to the Nano, I don't mean that the Nano shows up in the iTunes source list like a real iPod. I assume that iTunes would handle all the "syncing" if that were the case.

What I do is drag and drop songs from the iTunes playlist onto the icon for my Nano that is on the desktop. The operating system handles the file copying. The results are the same whether I copy from iTunes or find the actual files on my Mac and copy those.

If I setup the folders on WinXP, it works fine. I can browse the album folders and select individual songs. My firmware allows this.

If I set the folders on a Mac, it looks the same but won't actually work the same. Selecting a song in an album folder brings me to the first song on the Nano instead of my selected song.

I don't understand how the Mac and PC can be treating this simple task so differently that it would fail on the Mac.

I'm not about to treat this MP4 player as one big playlist. It would take me forever to scroll through 1 GB worth of songs. Plus, I think there is a limit on the number of files that can be in each directory... something like 119 or so. That would be about 350 MB, which would be much less that the maximum.
