I have Nero 5 and lately i have taken up burning audiobooks in mp3 format. I have carefully numbered each track in the file (ie)agatha christie ch 01
agatha christie ch 02
and so on... I wanted to make sure they would burn in order of chapter.
On one disc i burned quite a few audio books and every single one of them plays chapter 02 first and puts chapter one at the end of the file so u hear all the other chapters before u hear the first one .... i have done every thing, burned a tone of discs as i played around with the file names and still my mp3 player wont read them in proper order.
does it have to do with the ISO name and if so what is the standard way to number so the files are read in order.
thanks
 
Not sure a follow all that, but they should play in the order in which you drag them from your drive to the burn page.
 
It is hard to understand I know....

Thank you Stealth for replying,

The whole thing is....i drag files into the window in order, they burn in order, when i open them on my computer, they are in order.
But when the audiobooks (and music discs too) play on my mp3 player and even my DVD, the first file (chapter one or the first song) is always at the end of all the others. I have one disc here my buddie burned and it is fine. Plays all the files in proper order so i know it has to be something he knew but i dont...unfortunately i cant ask him.
When I look at the files to be burned (in the nero compilation window) and switch it over to the ISO name, I can see that the files arent in order. Last night I started playing more with mode 1 and mode 2. and took the "joliet" tick off. This made them look to be in proper order but i dont know much about Joliet \unicode file system....
This is driving me over the edge..... i hate it when i cant figure something out. I emailed Nero but i have never recieved a response.
I have joined three forums but nobody seems to understand what i mean. But thank u for replying Stealth.

all i can think of is that u maybe burn as data cd, and not audio cd? also, i would try "disc at once" mode, just in case u burn "track-at-once"..
 
If you burn .mp3s to a data CD the order of play will be determined by the playlist created in your .mp3 player.

If you burned it as an audio CD- then the playlist is included on the CD.
 
thank you all for all the suggestions. I have figured it out however. It was mostly because of my mp3 player and how it reads the data. It seemed to a conflict with the joliet option. Taking off the joliet and allowing for 31 characters seemed to fix everything fine. unfortunately it took a few discs to figure that out.... :-)
thanks again
