korz Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I'm burning MP3's of Steve Dahl's podcast to CD-RW disks. Typically, I'll erase the disk and then burn 4 or 5 files onto it. I drag and drop file 1, then file 2, and so forth. The files are in "alphabetical" order. The filenames look like this: DahlCast_156_041510.mp3 DahlCast_157_041610.mp3 DahlCast_158_041910.mp3 DahlCast_159_042010.mp3 DahlCast_160_042110.mp3 When I go to listen to the disk in my Sony car stereo, they are in this order: Track 1: DahlCast_157_041610.mp3 Track 2: DahlCast_158_041910.mp3 Track 3: DahlCast_159_042010.mp3 Track 4: DahlCast_160_042110.mp3 Track 5: DahlCast_156_041510.mp3 This happens also when I burn 4 files. This has happened three consecutive times. Why is this happening and how do I fix it? Thanks. korz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmalves Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Just to confirm, you're burning using the Build mode, right? The files are in alphabetical order in the filesystem, so it's your player that's sorting them differently. Try renaming them to 001-filename.mp3 , 002-filename.mp3, etc to see if it works better.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Maybe it's (your player) using something in the ID3 tags? What file systems are you including on the disc? Are you relaxing any file system restrictions at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mode is the default "Ez-Mode Picker" has a checkmark. Why would the player reorder files on a disk? That would be bizarre. I'll try Build Mode if you suggest I do and if that fails, I'll try adding simple numbers at the beginning of the filenames. Thanks. korz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you relaxing any file system restrictions at all? I presume the filesystem is FAT32. I've never checked. I haven't changed any defaults since I installed imgburn except I've turned on the drag-and-drop interface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Hmm ok, seems you don't actually know what you've been doing. When you've been through the process again, get back to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
