Sorry it's a pretty old topic but as I am currently working on the playlist subject on my car...
You CAN do playlist with files from different folders as long as they use a
relative path format.
Say your directory tree is:
USBNAME
-Folder 1-Title 1.mp3
-Title 2.mp3
-Folder 2-Title 3.mp3
-Title 4.mp3
-Playlist Folder-Playlist.mp3
To play Title 2.mp3 and Title 3.mp3, the playlist shall contain the following two lines:
../Folder 1/Title 2.mp3
../Folder 2/Title 3.mp3
Using relative path makes the playlist work on the USB stick and on the HDD once it has been transfered.
You can use either
à la Linux path '../../' or
à la Windows '..\..\', I have tested with both
Enjoy your playlist
