Hello,

I have a problem with my D2. I want to transfer Beethoven sonatas on it by file name, but instead of downloading like this: Sonata No:1,2,3,4,5,6...11,12... 19,20,21... it goes like this Sonata 1,10,11,12,13...19,2,20,21,22,23...

It is if as 20 and 38, for example were treated as 2.0 and 3.8.

Did anybody else encounter this problem? Switching the type of xfer (MSC to MTP) does not solve the problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TO keep files in order name them using this protocol

01 .... 09......10.......29........ etc etc (applies to most players )

For those on Linux, go to your directory in a shell and use this:


for i in *.mp3; do
mv $i $(echo $i | sed 's/^\([0-9]\)\([^0-9]\)/0\1\2/' )
done


All file starting with a single number not followed by a number will be converted to the same name starting with a 0...
ie: 1-blabla.mp3 -> 01-blabla.mp3

You should always use the format NN for tracknumber, i.e. 01, 02, 03 [...] 09, 10, 11, etc.

Both FILES "sort" and ID3TAG TRACK NUMBER "sort" have this issue?

Thanks guys, that fixed it even if it was a pain to do each track at a time... [biggrin]

Now is there a way to include the track # in the title using exact audio copy?

I use command (%N) %T - %A, but it does not include the number.

Thanks.

Thanks guys, that fixed it even if it was a pain to do each track at a time... [biggrin]I use foobar2000 to rename my files, it does batch renaming from tags. I use NN TT.mp3 for example, where NN is the double-digit tracknumber and TT is the track title. If I have proper tags, I can rename all my 8000+ files with one mouse click.

Don't know about the EAC function, I use dBpowerAmp.
