Mp3 Player and Music Management

Jul 9, 2009 7:36PM PDT

I am looking to upgrade to an MP3 player and while I have seen most features reviewed, the one thing that eludes discussion is music management.

In particular, would really like to find a player where I can drag and drop a folder into the device, a predefined Folder would be cool... but where the MP3 device could read and parse music based on not just ID3 tags, but just plain simple directories or folders.

Another way to ask this is... can anyone make recommendations of MP3 players that allow really good music management of music files once they are on the device? In particular, just being able to drop a folder into the device and have it parsed and displayed, and navigable?
