File order in data CD

Mon Jun 06, 2011 5:11 am
Hello,

I notice that when I create a data CD, the files in each directory are burned in alphabetical order, regardless of the order I put them in the K3B files list.
This is annoying since there is some stupid hardware (CD players) which will follows the file order on the disk when playing -- and it's quite disappointing when playing a drama, musical or symphony.
Is that a limit of the file system (and is there a FS combination that allows to leave the order untouched)? or is is just a feature not implemented by K3B?

There is of course a workaround (renaming the files with training 00, 01 etc), but if possible it would be much better to be able to control this directly.

Thank you

It is probable that this is a feature of either the underlying CD burning software or the CD player itself. Burning a Music CD should fix this problem however.
