Page 1 of SCAN 2000 MP3 playback order

Does anyone know how to create a CD full of MP3`s and play them in a defined order apart from renaming the files names to a different alphanumeric order?

I have just upgraded to 2.04s from 193 and noticed that one CD with 148 mp3`s is being played back in a different order to what I would have expected. This is not a fault, but just something I have observed, which leads me to think there may be a way to create a CD in the first place to achieve the order of play.

E.g.: If the CD had files a1, a2, a3, a4, b1, b2, b3, b4, c1, c2, etc. I would expect the files to play in that order. As far as I know there is no way to save the files on a CD in any other order. What is happening with mine is that the order of play is something like a1, a2, b1, b2, c1, c2, a3, b3, c3, a4, etc. This is good because playing paying a list in normal alphanumeric order often doesn`t mix a large playlist up enough.

What I think happened before I upgraded, but I may not have noticed this new order of play, is that each mp3 was played by alphanumeric order. If there was a Shuffle MP3 function and/or MP3 program function on the SCAN then this wouldn`t be a problem. Anyone know how to implement this?

Strange. Shuffle works just fine for me with MP3s. Insert CD,
press "shuffle" on remote, press play.

BTW you know you can put the MP3s into directories don`t you?

What! Shuffle works for you? What firmware have you got and what versions did you install to get to whereyou are?

I tried V 193 and 204s and 208 and none of them support Shuffle.

Pressing my Shuffle button just puts an icon - circle with a diagonal line through it in the top left hand corner of the TV.

Directories work fine. The original question refers to a single directory.

You are right! Shuffle does work. Although only if you select it before play. (Repeat works while playing).

Thank you very much indeed for pointing this out.

The playing order is still unusual though.
