it would be very useful to have folders that contain songs to be played via usb-stick instead only songs in standard-folder USBPLAY can be played

I agree, separating break and test music would be useful.

This has been asked for since they first released the Qu, and then SQ series! I don’t think they have any intention to introduce it. It was actually said that more than once in Q&A sessions, “A&H make mixers with basic record and playback facilities, there are plenty of firms make specialist audio recorder/players”
