Re: problem with zen stone
Hi Allison I have an mp3 player (not the zen stone) which has this problem if the file names are not unique within the first 8 characters, so if the file names are long with author+title+track number then it would play out of order. When I put the track number at the beginning of the file name it worked ok. The files displayed in the right order when looking at them in Windows because Windows has no problems with long file names. This may be worth trying. Also I read a review of the Zen Stone which said that it does not always resume play from where you stopped. This is a bug which occurs fairly frequently and would by annoying for audiobooks, has anyone had this problem with the Zen stone.

problem with zen stone
Hi all! I loaded the fifth Harry Potter book onto my Zen stone, and turned it on, only to find that the book started playing in the middle. Advancing backward and forward through the files, I noticed that they weren't really playing in sequential order. I know I don't have the player set to shuffle mode, and I'm wondering what could be wrong. I checked the folder on the Zen stone, and they're displaying in the correct order. It's 384 parts. Could that be a problem? I'm at a loss. Thanks!
