For instance, you can make a folder on the SD card that is named "Country" and put all of your country music in it and when you are looking for music on the channel you will see the folder "Country" and be able to see all of the music, and play, all the music that has been put in it. This can help you organize your music if you have a lot of it on the SD card.
