MP3 Index

[Mc Brain]

I'm trying to create a new feature for my MP3 Organizer. This will allow the user to create CD-book with an index of the MP3s saved on the CD (prepared to be printed double-sided and book-sized).

The problem I cannot solve is with the index itself. I thought my car-stereo would access the files alphabetically. So, I made the index this way. So, my printed index could say the file I want to here is tracknumber 3 from the folder 12 (12.3), but my stereo finds this song at 12.5. Obviously... the order I thought and the one the stereo is using are not the same.

Does anybody know how are they sorted or how to get the same order the player does?

TIA,

I would also check to make sure that different players do not have different indexing schemes.
If so that would nearly be impossible to solve unless you'd know ahead of time which players would be used.
For that you'd have to have each players indexing methods stored into a data base and have users pick a player before printing out the CD-book.

Just my 2¢

I know that. For the time being... if it works for my stereo is enough for me

BTW, I've just found how to solve this. The files are sorted alphabetically according its 8.3 format.
