What you suggest has never worked for me. The 'timestamp' for the folder or file is created by and for the OS you transfer from so it's largely useless for Rockbox...Am I wrong in this?

It might be an idea (i mean option) for the Rockbox Utility to take over sync duties and create timestamped directories for use in such a feature? That probably drifts into the realms of stupid management software haha!?

My simple suggestion is to create a folder on your player called 'new' or whatever and transfer anything you haven't heard to that. Then delete or move it. It's what I do!  ;D

a total dream-solution would be, if you could configure your own structure in the tagnavi-file with simple SQL-commands. :)

for example to get all albums beginning with an A
SELECT * FROM albums WHERE albumtitle LIKE 'A%' ORDER BY artist

or sorting the albums by date
SELECT * FROM albums ORDER BY artist DESC

maybe here some cracks who can code a wrapper for that, as a plugin or something. :) i'm not so much into coding, to realize it myself. :(

GodEater:
Having a full SQL parser on the player is pretty much not going to happen.

quad:
of course not a full, but just simple commands for sorting, displaying and stuff.

SELECT * FROM x WHERE y ORDER BY z ASC/DESC

... would be totally enough and a quantum leap for the tagnavi ... from my point of view. :)

AlexP:
Best get coding then....
