How to Sort files on e260 v1

MP3 players All other MP3 players

Hi.

This looks fine in explorer but during playback the sequence is scrambled.

This has got to be simple.

This is an explorer view. The language program is on a micro SD card

Directory structure should be self evident. Any words of wisdom? I’m aware that tags exist but input has had mixed results.

Thanks!!!

You will have to edit the ID3 tags of the files. This player only sorts and plays by tags, not file names. And it’s very picky about the format of the tags it will read as well. They must be ID3v2.3 ISO-8859-1. MP3Tag is a good, free tool to download and use.

Thanks again for jumping right in there Tapeworm!

I  found the Mp3tag but is is v. 2.51 and didn’t addess anything resembling ID3v2.3 ISO-8859-1 except maybe the v. #.

Is that a problem ?

There are a bunch of sort and conversion alternatives.

I picked Title for the attached SS. and it did a decent job although I have no idea if the sansa will like it

I also pointed Mp3 to the parent dir. Mp3 chose to aggregate the whole shebang in one file (I might have picked “playlist”)

Does Mp3 mainitan directory structure or is doing separate converisions of SubDir’s the way to go?

Finally, should I delete the files on the 260 or just overwrite?

Thx!

Under Tools/Options/Tags/Mpeg set Write to ID3v2.3 ISO-8859-1.

Once you have this default setting changed, you can open up a folder at a time (or the whole library) and just hit the SAVE icon (looks like a floppy disk) and it will save all in the new tag format.

While you’re at it though, you may want to look at the files individually to see if you need (or want) to make any other changes. Delete anything in the Comments field. Your player can’t read it and stuff in there can cause issues.

It’s best to make these changes while the files reside on your computer. If you have copies already there, go ahead and delete the ones on the player. If not, transfer them back from the player to the computer, make the changes and then copy them back.

MP3Tag won’t change your folder/file hierarchy.
