Niloc Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I listen to audio books downloaded from various sites such as AudioBooksForFree.com. I store them on the computer them transfer the files to my MP3 player when I want to listen. The files are named such as '????? 01_25.mp3' where '???? is the book name, and ' 01_25' means file 1 of 25. Part of the loading process onto the MP3 involves 'sorting' but the files are not played in the sorted order, I would expect '???? 01-25' to play first followed by '???? 02_25', '???? 03_25' etc as if sorted by file number but they are played in indiscriminate order! I have tried renaming them '111', '222','333' but it makes no difference, neither does 'AAA','BBB', 'aaa'.'bbb' or anything else, I simply cannot figure the criteria use to sort the files. Any ideas?? Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas?? Colin Check the MP3 player and be sure its not in random mode. It should play a playlist in order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc2 Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 maybe it doesnt sort by file name but by title. view the mp3 properties for each file to check Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niloc Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 I finally found the website, my MP3 does have a 'random' mode but I cannot discover how to turn it off. It is an ilo but no information on the website and of course no documentation! I have formatted it so will see if that makes any difference!!
