Title and Artist info on nav display

I am planning to store my music tracks in one of two ways on the CF card. How will this affect the way information (if any) is displayed on the nav screen?

Option 1 (Artist/Album/Song.mp3)

Artist1
-Album1
----SongA.mp3
----SongB.mp3
-Album2
----SongC.mp3
----SongD.mp3
Artist2
-Album1
----SongE.mp3
----SongF.mp3
-Album2
----SongG.mp3
----SongH.mp3

Option 2 (Artist/Song.mp3)

Artist1
----SongA.mp3
----SongB.mp3
----SongC.mp3
----SongD.mp3
Artist2
----SongE.mp3
----SongF.mp3
----SongG.mp3
----SongH.mp3

Which option guarantees me seeing the artist and title(filename) on the display?

Tx

Actually, for the CF card, I thought the tag info (if present) in the MP3 file took care of what was displayed. What's wrongs with just loading up the CF card without subdirectories, ie

Option 3 (Song.mp3)
SongA.mp3
SongB.mp3
SongC.mp3

I just tested it on my fresh new Genie - works like a charm!

How do I correct the order that the songs on the CF card appear? I remember reading that they appear in the order they were copied to the card in, but how do I fix it?

I think they are sorted alphabetically. If that is the case, the only way would be to drop a two digit number in front of the song name to control the order

Example:

01_song1
02_song2
03_song3
....

Yeah I couldnt figure out a way to change the song order either. I swear that sometimes it appears in the order written to the card and sometimes it is alphabetical - on the same card.

This software/reader could really use an upgrade IMO. Its very frustrating to copy a bunch of songs, go out to your car to check it, see that some are the way they should be and some arent, try to take notes, go back and fix it - repeat.
