Hello all:
This question maybe OT but is related to linux:
I've got an MP3 player that plays mp3 files in a strange order, not alphabetically. I've mounted the player and tried different listings by ls. I found that the player plays the songs in the order of the inode numbers:
ls -li|sort
command gives the same order as the player plays the files.
Now I have two questions:
1. The player's filesystem (SD card) is vfat. Are there inode numbers in a vfat filesystem?
2. How could I change these numbers of the files so that their order would correspond to the alphabetical names of the files?
There is a small program in Suse that can help with this. I really don't remember the name of it, I'll check it tonight, but it is something like TAG... It lets you edit the file attributes of audio files, including song name, album, date, genre, and play order (by number). Easy to use, at least in KDE. Sorry I don't remember the name of it, but will send that later when I get to my Suse box. Jim F
