Hi guys please see attached image i am trying to get my mp3 to load into my iPhone in order. As you can see they do not follow order in the titles. IN iTunes they look ok but i am thinking as a newbie it is to do with numbers in the Filename (not sure)
Anybody help me in how i can get them to order correctly ? Please remeber i am a newbie with this product
Cheers

1. I think all you need to do is select all files from this position and go to menu: _file\>save tag._
2. Then open itunes and play each and every song, this will update the file name to the correct filename. \*\*TIP play 1st song, then hold onto the right arrow key to skip onto the next songs quickly
if this doesnt work. ( **BUT** it should)
see atached image.
What you need to do is go to the menu: _convert\>Tag - Filename_. The use the string **_%title%_** in the format string box.
Your problem arises from the fact you have **01** and **02** at the start of the filename with the other number not working out properly e.g.
**01** Spanish I - Unit 01.new.mp3
02 Spanish I - Unit 02.new.mp3
**01** Spanish I - Unit 03.new.mp3
Another good tip would be to fill in the album artist field with **_Pimsleur_** also as this helps.
