Yeah... It counts empty folders including the root. It also plays alphabetically by folder and then track.

What this means is that if you want a specific album play order you need to put a number at the beginning of each folder name. ie:

"01 - folder 1"
"02 - folder 2"

...etc.


It also does this for tracks - so if you use single digits for the first 9 tracks of a cd (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,etc)...

It will play in this order: 1,10,11,12,2,3,4,5,etc...

So you have to make sure your track filenames are:
"01 - song name.mp3"
not:
"1 - song name.mp3"

...annoying - but I use my iPod most of the time anyway... limited it may be but at least it knows that 2 is BEFORE 10.
