And once it is configured to look at that folder, it would be easy to change the folder by redoing the configuration eg if you have a folder for thrillers and another for sci-fi, for example.

That way, there would be no need to search the device, which takes absolutely ages and so far (for me) has never completed.
Because of the way people choose to arrange their device (after what the manufacturer decides to allow). Chaos! We are THE KING, we will NOT have your standards. So brilliant developers are forced to poll the entire device to learn HOW this one was done (and what the user has done on top of that)
