Am I @%#$ing up the placeholder? Am I putting the script in the right place?(actions) Is it simply not possible?
See, I am going on a 3 day road trip, and I've got a LOT of music (~200gb). I don't want to have to be too distracted on the road searching through my entire collection(5g iPod with 250gb hdd), and I mainly only want to listen to the new stuff I just got for the trip (about 3,000 songs). I got the tunes arranged in folders, and sub folders, with a lot of different artists and albums, so I'd like to ultimately be able to browse the folders via my Genres.
I know the easiest solution may be to install Rockbox(which I have, as a matter of fact), but let's face it; RockBox is a bit of a battery hog.
Bottom-Line: Replace "\*" Genre with "AA %path%"
Any ideas guys?

Use Format value instead of Replace:
_Action type:_ **Format value**
_Field:_ **GENRE**
_Format string:_ **AA %\_folderpath%**
