    Easily playing an Artist/Album?

    I've had my M6 for a few days, and LOVE it (for the most part). It's way better than the Creative Zen I had. But I'm trying to find out how I can easily play all the songs for a particular artist or album at once. By that I mean, when I look at the album or artist list I want to just push one button and have it play everything "under" it. There's gotta be a way to do this, but so far I can't see it. I don't want to build custom play lists for this..just press "play" on a listed artist and viola.....hear everything under it.

    Am I missing something obvious or is this feature lacking? If it's lacking, what is the best workaround?

    Albums have worked flawlessly since version 1.009, what version are you using?
    Can't wait to play with the Meizu MX!

    It's as easy as obvious. You simply have to browse through your music sorted by artists and press the play-/on-/off- button.

    I think this button is underestimated by most people anyway.

    ok thats neither easy nor obvious but inconvenient and weird...
    I agree with YngDiego that the Meizu could use an immediate "play all"acces to music instead of being forced to browse by album or make a playlist...

    not that its much of a problem though... just details

    Thanks, I agree that's easy but NOT remotely obvious.

    I mean it actually is natural to use the play button to play certain files, but it's stupid to make another button do just the same. This is what confuses most people.

    it's just not obvious that you have to press the power button to play (some people probably dont notice the symbols) a "play all" on top of the lists would be easier.

    that said, once you do know you can use the play/power button, it's easy

    they should make a play button on the main menu screen but it would get annoying after a while

    If anyone bothered reading the manual, they would know that the power button IS the play button.
    I mean, come on, it's how you start the music playback, so why not artist playback?
