A1000 reversing album song order - sometimes

[bogon07]

I've noticed that my A1000 sometimes reverses the order of songs for an album. They are in correct order SonicStage but after the whole album is transferred they appear and play in reverse order in the A1000.

The A1000 has firmware 2 installed. Happens with SS 3.3 & 3.4.

It is really annoying with a live concert when the last song plays first and songs that lead into one another.

I suppose this could be overcome by making a playlist of the album.

Anyone else come across something like this ?

I've never had this problem with songs/abums moved over using Connect player, all of them are ordered correctly, and play in the correct order, mp3's and wmas.

I might try deleting and transferring again to see if that fixes it.

The song order on the A1000 corrected itself when I reconnected to SonicStage this afternoon. Bizarre.

Hi!

I had the same problems. You need to have entered the right "Track" Numbers in the ID Tags. Your device will strictly sort after those!

Miura,

I did try that once. Opened up the song properties in SS3.3 to find that the track numbers for the affected songs were blank and so set about giving them the correct numbers.

However the next time I tried to use the A1000 it was stuck continuously making the same tone and when I pressed the stop button it displayed a system error (which indicated the player should be taken to a Sony service centre). A reset fixed this.

The cause of my problem seems to be transferring the songs via SonicStage then shutting down and connecting the A1000 to ConnectPlayer (I foolishly thought it would update the statistics on the unit).
