The problem is purely with directory sorting, as was pointed out earlier. Still, I'd personally say it's better to list all the files in the wrong order than to just list the first 200, since the order will still be wrong like that anyway. - Robert Received on 2002-08-13 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
