Hello:
My old mp3 player plays the files in the order as they were copied to the disk.
Until now I used to copy the files in the correct order by this command:
find . -print0 | sort -z | xargs -0 cp -a --parents
--target-directory=/media/disk
This used to copy directories and their files recursively in
alphabetocal order.
But in openSUSE 12.2 it does not work. The files are copied to my sdcard in random order.
Why is this and how could I fix it?
Thanks,
Istvan
Maybe you should erase/reformat the card first?
*Often it'll work like this:
1) Erase the card 2) Copy files a, b and c to the card, in alphabetical order 3) Erase b 4) Copy d, e and f to the card, in alphabetical order 5) The card now has directory order a, d, c, e, f *
Confirms my suspicion that the card is really reporting arrival order. I too had a fairly brainded mp3 player that acted this way. Nuke and reload seemed to work. --
