One of the BlackBerry music player drawback is can’t play music by folder. For example if you save Pop music in “Pop†folder and Rock music in “Let’s Rock†folder and you want only want to play all music in “Let’s Rock†music then it can not be done by default music player (at least when you do not know how to do it). When you go to the Music Player Applicaton, you will find only this:
- All Songs: Shows all song
- Artist: Show music based on artist
- Albums: based on albums
- Genres: Based on Genre / Type of music
- And there is no option to play by folder.
