Hi Alan, the problem is... :)
I own a iRiver T60 mp3 player, which uses the VFAT fs as so many usbstick-like mass storage devices do. It /seems/ (which is equivalent to "i dont know, whether..."), that the sequence in which the songs are played depend on the sequence they were entered into the VFAT. Whith rsync I could manage to copy the files, which carry the trackno as the the first two characters in their filename. in alphabetically order onto the device. So nice ... so good. BUT: In some rare cases the T60 insists in playing songs in a different order. Why ? No clue... Another aspect of this is: If I will delete a couple of files on the device and rsync some new, the previously freed directory/VFAT entries will be occupied first, before new ones will be used, which will screw up the playing order totally. Now I am looking for a VFAT editor and analyzer, which permits me to explore and eventually -- if needed -- "hack" the VFAT into a different order, so that my files will be played in the correct track order without reformatting the device in whole for any delete/add file action I want to do. If there is anything outside there, which will help me to manage this task ... it would be very nice! Thank you very much for your help and time in advance!
