[SOLVED] Sansa Clip

GPGAgent · 06-11-2022, 12:40 PM

The problem I have with my Sansa Clip is that the mp3 files do not sort correctly

Code:

001_file.mp3
002_file.mp3
003_file.mp3

is how they look on Thunar

But on the sansa clip its in a random order - I can't see how to get the files to sort into the correct order.
Not stricyly a Linux issue but maybe some one has an explanation, or better still a solution.

Aha, a quick ddg found the problem and a solution, it's the id3 tag - at first it seemed onlu 00 - 99 was allowed, my files where 0001, 0002, 003 and so on.

The solutuion is to install Easytag

Code:

apt-cache search mp3 | grep tags
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install easytag

Okay the search line isn't strictly needed.

I installed Easytag, opened each audiobook folder and hey presto they each got updated as I moved to the next folder

All good now

SOLVED!
