HD playback

I've searched and may be using the wrong parameters...

I have downloaded album files to the HD; multiple albums per file. Is there a way to get the system to play the albums in sequence and not just a single album over and over? I also loaded songs individually from each album and the system wants to play all the tracks in order; i.e. all the #1 tracks followed by all the #2 tracks, etc. I just want to have the albums played in order.

It is stupid how little they have put into this.
The system can not do it without some instruction.
You can use folders or playlist . You can do it using a m3u playlist or making your own marking them as Favorites.
The folder way will play everything inside of that folder in the order they were copied.
It will not go outside that folder, you have to Browse to switch folders.
Research on how to make a m3u playlist as that will probably be best.
Marking via Favorites can be tedious if you have very many songs.
If the album's are a single file the system sees it as one song/file.
Don't know if that helped.

Well... That didn't work. I put every song in Favorites and now the songs are arranged alphabetically. Grrrr..... All I want to do is play one album/CD after another. I don't have this issue with the CIC unit in our 2012.

From what I understand it does matter how you added them to favorites, browse should keep them separate, artist/album doesn't and can create duplicate.
Stupid I know.
