Let this loose on your USB stick and the songs will play in the right order. The original website doesn't exist anymore, but you can get it here for example "Download starten".

Thank you. Many thanks. A good few SD or USB players with an MP3 decoder will simply play any file in the order it appears in the file allocation table FAT , which, when writing to a formatted flash drive will almost certainly be the order they were written to the card.

It should do so in that sequence, writing the FAT in that sequence, causing playback in the required order. This old thread details steps I took to accomplish the desired playback order, which I still use when loading a new SD card for the same system and I'll be doing a new mix of Christmas and non-Christmas tracks soon.

The second post simplified my replacements of non-filename characters. Sorry, what does fb2k mean? Ah yes, an add on, where can I download it? I don't know what pattern you want, e. Do you have limitations such as file name length being 8 characters? If not, things are easier. Do all your devices play strictly in alphabetical order or if you copy an extra file beginning with A after all the rest, will it play at the end meaning that Windows happened to just copy the files over in alphabetical order and the devices play them in order of being written to the disk?

What will go into folder 1, folder 2 etc if you use that numbering scheme or better to to match alphabetical order to numeric order? It sounds like you have certain playlist you'd like in each folder, but it is not anything like the first tracks, the second tracks etc, or all tracks from the same album.

Any examples to help us understand? Lost your password? Please enter your email address. You will receive a link and will create a new password via email. I just bought a little portable stereo that I can put an SD card or flash drive into and it will play the songs on the drive. The stereo has nothing but, play, FF, rev, and skip forward or back functionality. All of my files, of course, have titles, lengths and dates. Some have artists, some album name, and some genre. This way I do not have to listen in alphabetical order or to all one artist then all of the next, ect.
