Sounds just like you're not using it right. In the music screen, you press play to pause the music, then hit MENU briefly to go to LOCAL FOLDER. Then hit MENU briefly on the "\" backslash to go up the hiearchy of folders to find the folder you want to play. You keep selecting things with brief click of MENU key. You select the file you want to play with MENU and only once in the MENU SCREEN (now playing) do you hit PLAY to start the song. If ever you hit "PLAY" when you should be hitting "MENU" it will go and play the top song in the highest folder or more probably, the last song played.
