simple question on playlists and queuing

[easterlingman]

what's the easiest way to queue all your songs to be randomly played?  with the official x5 firmware from cowon this involves selecting a folder.. the x5 will traverse all subfolders and make a playlist... trying to do this with rockbox doesn't work for some reason - if i try to add all songs to a playlist a message flashes for a fraction of a second and the playlist remains unchanged....

Do you have the option to recursively insert directories enabled? Otherwise it doesn't traverse subfolders.

i didn't know there was such an option!   I see it...... certainly takes a while though

Enabling Dircache can speed this up significantly.

Defrag your player's HD beforehand also.

Defrag will do nothing unless you frequently delete files and add files afterwards.
