problem with play order on Sony Walkman nwzx1060

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 

I am having a strange problem with my Sony x1061. When I try to play an album, the tracks may or may not play in their regular (track number) order. I checked that the Play Mode was normal (not shuffle). Both the track number and file names seem correct (file name of first file is 01..., etc). I checked the manual, no help, couldn't find any guidance by google or head-fi search.

 

Am I doing something dumb?

Hi dana789! Whenever I have this problem with the sony X1060, it is almost invariably because the tagging of the oiginal file was wrong. So even though the file names may be in the correct chronological order, their corresponding tagging information related to the track number of a specific album may be incorrect. I generally use itunes to manually change the corrupted track numbers. Pehaps you can do that and then resync the files to the walkman. Hope this helps a bit haha.

thanks, that's probably the problem. I use EasyTAG (linux app) to manage my tags, I'll see how they look under iTunes.

Problem solved, I think. I blundered by converting all my id3 tags to v2.4 using EasyTAG. Silly me thinking that the latest version of ID3 was the right one. I used iTunes to change all tags to id3 v2.3, all the ones I've checked look fine now.

 

After a little poking on line, it seems id3 v2.4 has not been universally adopted and should be avoided. I also read an online entry that said that EasyTAG will not change the tags back to 2.3 after they've been converted to 2.4. iTunes did this fine, though.

 

Thanks again Honeyboy.
