I never needed to as musicmatch could sort by the tracknum in the id3 info tags. I know rockbox can get at this information (when you browse the id3 tags). How difficult would it be to sort by info in the ID3 tags? I imagine the sorting works at the filesystem level (fat32) rather than reading the tag information of the mp3s. I imagine a module that scans the id3 tags of all the mp3s in a directory and then plays them in order wouldn't be very fast/efficient. Maybe a module that does the above and generates a playlist file for you? Then you can just select the playlist. I think that would be cool! ----- Original Message ----- From: "[IDC]Dragon" <idc-dragon_at_gmx.de> To: "Rockbox development" <rockbox_at_cool.haxx.se> Sent: Wednesday, March 03, 2004 10:44 AM Subject: Re: Play songs by tracknum > > I just wanted to know if anyone knows how to, or would like to be able to, > > play a directory of tunes sorted by artist, tracknum then title. > > > > I haven't found a way to do this yet.
