A couple of months ago I formatted my mp3 player (an old 4gb mpman). Ever
since then if I need to copy lets say a 100 mb album on it it will take 5
minutes :( while it used to take 40 seconds before I formatted it. This I
have no idea how to solve.
What I was able to solve is the randomness of the tracks within the album
folders - very annoying especially if you are a prog maniac like myself,
being that prog rock is full of concept albums so the order in which the
songs are played matters.. It would play may songs in very random order
13-3-6-10-1 etc etc.
I installed this little program - it's called fatsort ---
assuming that your mp3 player is sdb all you need to do to sort it is:
fatsort -c /dev/sdb1
-c is "case sensitive"
p.s - if anybody knows how to solve the extremely slow transfer of music to
my old but great mpman it would be very nice if he posted me the modus
solvendi!!
cheers
