Sorting audiobook mp3s

SanDisk MP3 players Sansa® Clip | Sansa® Clip+

I had a similar problem, an MP3 course with 167 files.

For my case, on the Clip+, I used EasyTag to remove the 2nd part of the track number, so instead of

01/167

the track number became

01

in the MP3 file’s header (ie, the ID3v2 tag).  I verified this using the ‘id3v2 -l’ command in Linux.

Once I got rid of the total number of tracks, the sorting worked. YAY!  I’ve been using the Clip and Clip+ for years and this audiobook sort problem always bothered me.  Thanks to the posters here for sorting this out!

Systemcheck, that was it!  I’ve been fighting with this for a few days now and it was driving me crazy.  I found if a book had more that 100 tracks, it would fail, less than 100 was no problem.  I started to split books into pt 1 and pt 2.  But, like you said, in EasyTag if you delete the second part of the xx/xx then it works fine past 100 tracks.  

I think it’s pretty clear this is a bug.

Good work-around, though.  Thanks!!!
