· How do I skip to the next album or the next playlist? (Entry last updated on September 12th, 2003)Assuming you're playing a sequential list of albums, press and hold the "3" ("source") key on the Rio remote control to skip to the next album.
This is just a trick that uses the "hate album" tweak (tweaks are described here) to drop the current album out of the running order and play whatever is next in line. I know it's not exactly what you were asking for, but it's close, and it's good enough for most people.
Skipping to the next sub-playlist in a larger shuffle isn't possible, since the player has no concept of sub-playlists once it begins playing them. When it begins playing a tree of playlists, it simply creates a flattened list of all the songs in that section of the tree and stores it. So it doesn't know anything about which songs belonged to which sub-playlist.
However, if you had deliberately selected just a single sub-playlist to hear, and now you want to select and play the next adjacent playlist, there is a trick described here that lets you jump directly to that position in the playlist tree without all the intermediate scrolling. This makes it very painless to reach the next playlist.
