Hi All,
I have put all the songs in there own folders. When I have it playing it does not play the songs in the same file in order?? I have taken the numbers away and still no luck.......It sometimes plays songs from other folders whilst still saying its in another folder?
Please help

Thanks

do you have the random setting enabled in the settings screen

note that these player play songs in the order they were copied to the player, so what ever order they are in in the folders is the way they will play

but have a look in setting and see what is set for music order

Its not on random in the settings. I have copied them over in there order. Should I format and start again?

Ok I formatted it. I put an album on it and it skipped all the songs and went to the next folder, why would it skip the songs? Also it still is not playing the songs in order.
Please help this is driving me craaaaaaaaaazy

what file types are they .. MP3 wma and how are they encoded, they may be out of the range of the player and it may not see them properly

also, as for playing in order, the player will not play them in track order, just the order they are in the folders

what are the files you are using and how converted

Hi I am having the same strange thing happening.
But think I have found a way around it , If you put the song in reverse order onto the mp4 they seem to play in the correct order ( sounds strange but works for me so put them on ie: track 13-12-11-10 and so on and when you play them on the mp4 thry will come out in order 1-2-3-4-5 so on.

Also maybe an idea not to put them on in songle folder just put them on in a batch the should organise themselve in to correct albums on the player.

All works on my rockchip player (extremedeals one)
