Media Contents: Folders, Songs, and Files Folders: A folder is a storage location in the media, used to organize multiple songs in groups. If you've saved hundreds of songs to a SmartMedia card, it may be difficult to find the desired song quickly. Organizing your songs in folders, with similar songs grouped together (for example, according to genre or tempo), makes it easier to find the songs you want.
