Hi,

I have a digital recorder / player, a Sony PCM-M10.

It can take FAT formated Micro SD cards.

I can access them via USB, mount them and copy folders and files.

However, there is one glitch: the order of the files. I call them 
01_dada.wav, 02_ased.wav etc. ad hope it plays it in that order.

The manual states:

"If you have copied music files using your computer, those files may not 
be copied in order of copying because of the system limitations. If you 
copy a music file one by one to the PCM recorder, you can display and play 
back tracks in order of copying."

So I copied the files after sorting them:

find . -depth -print0 | sort -z | pax -wd0 | tar -xf - -C /mnt

Still, the order is random.

I wonder why..

My memory of FAT is blurry. During studies I "visited" floppy sectors to 
get deleted data back. If i am not mistaken, if a directory is new, it 
puts filename by filename in a directory list and references, one 
by one, although I am not familiar whether that changed with VFAT and long 
filenames.

I may experiment with "real" copy one by one - directories first and then 
a kind of

for f in `find . -type f`; do cp $f /mnt/$f; done

or trying to figure out what changing the modification time does.. at the 
moment I am not sure why it's not working.

Any ideas or experiences how to fix it?

BTW: Besides of that I am very happy with the Sony PCM-M10. I have it on 
my HiFi at the moment and it has a crystal clear and full sound.

Thanks
Peter
