    For anyone that has Quickplay 2.0 : do you still have to put music, pictures, video, etc into the "Shared Documents" folder, or will Quickplay 2.0 work with the "My Documents" folder? Also, can you have multiple folders (i.e. - Rock Music, Blues Music, Pictures, etc) within the Shared Documents folder to play in Quickplay? Thanks.

    I believe that the reason files (music, photos, video) need to be placed on a particular partition (Shared Doc's) is that the computer actually boots up in Linux. I guess Linux is configured to only "see" the specific partition.

    From what I've heard, you do still need to place files in Shared Documents", but this answer is based on what I recall reading... I'm still waiting for my laptop to arrive, so it isn't based on actual experience.

    Nope. I've read with the new QP2.0, it can play from any storage including the media slots. I cannot verify it though as I only have QP1.30DL.
