    create folders with an underscore?

    I wish to use the batch converter to create a separate folder of lossy mp3 folders for a usb stick to play in my car head unit.
    The problem here is the car stereo is made by pioneer and is useless with tags...ie it jumbles folders up and track numbers etc, when the folder structure is fine to begin with eg artist\album\track title! what more do you want?
    However I've discovered if i add an underscore to say Angelo Debarre (Angelo_Debarre) and Amy Winehouse (amy_winehouse etc) John Coltrane, it keeps them in alphabetical order, it also appears to keep the tracks in numerical order when I add the track number after the title of the song??
    So if i can keep a mp3 or wav setting for easily converting new albums for my car usb that would be ideal....However i don't really understand all the options on the dynamic naming thing and whether when batch converting i can get it to add an underscore inbetween all the artists and album titles with more than one name or word....
    If you're following here???????
    Any help would be great as i seem to be spending ages mucking about with this when really i feel it should really be a simple thing!
    Not db poweramps fault in any way!! and I've just finished expressing my concerns/gripes via email to pioneer about there rather lacklustre approach to programming or tagging or whatever it is their head units are failing to accomplish!
    I mean, don't put a USB on something then make an arse of how it reads the sticks!
    Any help would be Mucho Appreciato!

    Had a reply from Pioneer, if you add new folders/files to the usb...say the next week when you buy a new album, rip it then want to add it to usb for the car, it does indeed add it on at the end and not into the folder structure...
    Crap!

    My advice.....Stay away from Pioneer stereos if the USB facility is what you're after. :(
