Perfect! And I see a lot of the Themes seem to have what I want, or if not it would only be one single variable to edit in the config file. Will have a go in my next free time :)

Which is the so-called "dynamic playlist". The manual should have more information on it.

There is no such thing like a "track number" when looking at a folder -- only a "file in the folder" would exist, and that even depends on how files in the folder are sorted. Plus, which files out of the ones in the folder get counted. So talking about "track number" when you're actually referring to the number of the file in the folder won't get you hits in the manual and confuse people like me -- track number is something different :)

That may be, but my wording in the first post was such:
--- Quote ---Basically I always browse via Folder structure and play a folder, thus play it alphabetically (I've got used to the standard firmware putting Capitalised initials first but either way isn't a bother.) I very much miss having a 3/10 (for example) telling me I am playing the 3rd track out of 10 in that folder though!

I thought that should be a perfectly clear description for most!
