MP3 Playback Order is Wrong

[GenesisG80]

After ripping a CD (Pink Floyd's The Wall) to MP3, the playback order (in my car) is alphabetical versus track number, most annoying with a rock opera. Any suggesting/recommendations would be appreciated.

You have to use track numbers in your naming if your audio system plays the files in alphabetical order.

Thank you for the earlier reply. Are you referring to the file name, or do I need to modify the ID Tag? Either way, do you have an example as to how I accomplish this?

cars often use filename, or the order the tracks were written.

Have a look at 'TuneFUSION' this program automates writing to a flash drive (in the testing section of this forum), it will also alphabetically sort all the tracks based by rewriting all tracks in correct order. You would need the track number at the start of the file name.

Please can you post your CDRipper naming string?

I think this would do it:

[composer]\[album]\[artist]-[track] [title]
