2. How could I change these numbers of the files so that their order would correspond to the alphabetical names of the files?
I'm sure experts will leap in with the correct answer, but I'll bet a pint of beer that if you format the card and then copy the files to it in alphabetical order, they'll appear in alphabetic order in the playlist.
And i'll add to that and bet that that's mostly right, but that the inode sorting is just a coincidence, and that it's actually sorting by timestamp. The files, if all copied one after the other, are likely (but not guaranteed) to get ascending inode numbers as well as the obvious ascending timestamps. Like Dave suggested, copying them in alphabetical order should do the trick (a reformat shouldn't be needed), but i'd bet another liter of beer (we don't have pints in Germany) that it's nothing to do with the inode numbers, but with the timestamps. You may be able to 'touch' each file to change the play order, instead of re-copying the files. -- ----- stephan@s11n.net http://s11n.net "...pleasure is a grace and is not obedient to the commands of the will." -- Alan W.
