Here's a tip.
I like to carry radio series such as The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy around on my Z if I'm away from home for a while. If you rip these from CD you tend to end up with 20 or more tracks per CD and hence lots of files.
Whilst I number the files so that they can be found in order it's quite common that CDDB type lookups don't store the track number inside the Track Title (instead use a different TAG in the mp3 file).
The real shortcoming in Media Player 2 is that it doesn't display the filenames - or at least I can't find a way of doing it. Creation of playlists is therefore awkward.
If, however, you create a playlist and take a look under ~/Applications/MusicPlayer/.playlist you will find your playlist as a file with the suffix .m3u. This is a text file that starts with the tag #EXTM3U.
Creation of file name sorted playlist, from a directory under Documents/Music_Files/myalbum is therefore as simple as....
echo #EXTM3U > ~/Applications/MusicPlayer/.playlist/myplaylist.m3u
find /home/zaurus/Documents/Music_Files/myalbum/* | sort >> ~/Applications/MusicPlayer/.playlist/myplaylist.m3u
Note that I use find and not ls because find gives the full path.
Hope this is useful.
