I have to correct myself and apologize! I was previously using my Iphone to play multiple file books but only after using GoldWave to merge the files into one big file. I'll just continue to merge the files first and then put them onto the BookScence because to me having to press F2 99 times is just a waist of time when GoldWave doesn't require my attention. Again, this is just what will work for me, not saying it is better or worse, just what I prefer. Hopefully, since the file structure looks fine before being played by these devices, there will be a way to overcome this in the future. Thanks to everyone for their great suggestions in this matter and all have a very Merry Christmas.

How does it deal with sorting files the way you want them, if not by filename?
