Hi

It always reorders the song into alphabetical order, which
is maddening. Is there a work around to keep them into the original disk order?

Make sure you keep the pianodir file this stores the order.

If open it as a text file you will see the song titles.

You will need to play the pianodir file to play in the correct order.

OR

Open the pianodir file in notepad and rename the file in the folder so they are in the correct order.

01 - xxxxxx
02 - aaaaa
03 - vvvvv
etc

So I add it and add a prefix to order the songs 001 song1.fil, etc..Then onto the thumb drive in folders. Lots of busy work but I guess only hve to do it once. Thanks. Dave
