So, thanks to all the advice here, I have just spent the last couple of hours renaming, renumbering and resorting my music using mp3tag and a file sorter, and it’s mostly worked; my music is now in the order I want it to be in (with a couple of exceptions which don’t seem to be working no matter what I do).
I like this little device; the sound quality is good and it’s small and light; it was bought as a replacement for my old, and much loved Sony Walkman as the battery was beginning to die. Had I known that there were all these issues with it, I’d probably have opted for another Sony, but at least it seems to be working OK now.
