If you have a book with 196 files that you want played in order. Here is one idea.
This idea will work if all 196 files are in one subfolder under Music.
The filenames must start with the 3-digit number (as you described).
Put this this 2-line command into a text file and save as “mybook.bat” (must be a text file, not rtf, not doc).
@echo off
dir /o:n /s /b *.mp3 *.wma *.wav> My196Book.m3u
Save the bat file in the same subfolder as your 196 book files.
Then use Win File Explorer and double click on the file “mybook.bat”. The m3u playlist will be created (very fast).
Use Music mode to play this playlist.
The files should play in your desired order (based on 3-digit prefixes in the filenames).
(Make sure the player Shuffle is Off.)
