other than play lists?

All of my songs start with 01_song1, 02_song2, etc but unfortunately the Rio Receiver ignores them. Any programs out there for automatically building playlists by albums?

Thanks,

al.

I think that's a known bug.

I wonder if it would work if the MP3 tags had the track number in them? Hmmm....

In the meantime, if your files are really alphanumerically named, a simple DIR *.MP3 /B /O:N | SORT.EXE should theoretically create an ordered playlist.

It's not a bug. It's by design. Nevertheless, it's wrong -- blame Dell, so we'll be fixing it in the next release.


Roger - not necessarily speaking for empeg

Looking back at that message, I realize that I did not have the command redirected to a file. The whole command should read:

DIR *.MP3 /B /O:N | SORT.EXE > some_name.M3U

Thanks for the help. Another trick I learned last night was to modify the ID tags so they start with the track #. Kind of a pita to do by hand unless someone knows of a fairly flexible batch processing program for modifying ID tags.

Hmmm... looking on freshmeat.... only about 90 entries. I'll poke around tonight to see if I can find something easy that works or write a quick java program. I'll post back what I use.

Roger, it's great to see product developers out on the forum. When is the new release scheduled to ship? If you need any betas...

I used to do embedded linux development, I miss it. I developed one of the first "linux Internet appliances" back in '96. It was called TEAMInternet. I remember reading about the empeg car player on slashdot when it was first announced. Great product, glad to finally have one (in fact I'm ordering 3 more Rio Receivers today).

Best of luck in your new strategy to go after the OEM market.

look here for such a program

As I said back in August Frank, a very handy util and one that I still use.

My mother & sister are both interested in the Receiver since they've seen mine, but a major stumbling block seems to be the tracks playing out of order.

I'm reluctant to press the matter or make it a Xmas gift because its been over a year since the client software's been updated and of the scary threads in about whether or not the Receiver will be replaced.

Rio really needs to get the software fixed.
