Depends from player. Oldest not support directories at all, for example
Philips AZ1100 radio MP3 CD player. Newer radios support folders
and subfolders usually 6-8 level but not always playlists (.m3u files)
but plays them in alpaphetical older. I write small programm for file
numbering.

At least some newest players  support also playlists and other audio file
formats
like Windows Media, MP3pro and disk formats like UDF.
