Hi, I have a digital recorder / player, a Sony PCM-M10. It can take FAT formated Micro SD cards. I can access them via USB, mount them and copy folders and files. However, there is one glitch: the order of the files. I call them 01_dada.wav, 02_ased.wav etc. ad hope it plays it in that order. The manual states: "If you have copied music files using your computer, those files may not be copied in order of copying because of the system limitations. If you copy a music file one by one to the PCM recorder, you can display and play back tracks in order of copying." So I copied the files after sorting them: find . -depth -print0 | sort -z | pax -wd0 | tar -xf - -C /mnt Still, the order is random. I wonder why.. My memory of FAT is blurry. During studies I "visited" floppy sectors to get deleted data back. If i am not mistaken, if a directory is new, it puts filename by filename in a directory list and references, one by one, although I am not familiar whether that changed with VFAT and long filenames. I may experiment with "real" copy one by one - directories first and then a kind of for f in `find . -type f`; do cp $f /mnt/$f; done or trying to figure out what changing the modification time does.. at the moment I am not sure why it's not working. Any ideas or experiences how to fix it? BTW: Besides of that I am very happy with the Sony PCM-M10. I have it on my HiFi at the moment and it has a crystal clear and full sound. Thanks Peter
