Hi , I just found this program and I'm hoping that it can help to sort the wife's usb stick that she uses in the car. She's copied a load of music files onto a usb stick so she can play it on the car stereo. The thing is she wants it to play in artist order and I'm hoping this program can do this. Could anyone help explain if it can and how I do it please ?
Thanks , Ads

How do I save all of this so that files now p…
MP3tag is mainly about tagging - what the player makes of it is beyond MP3tag's control.
You would have to find out which criteria the car stereo supports to determine a particular order.
