I think Jeff the files are ordered within each file type, mp3 then .wma.  The Olympus plays both in the music folder, but only records in .wma.


As for your second question, you need to put the burned files in the music folder.

Also, it's easier to just cut and paste, and not use the Olympus software.

  Subject: off topic digital recorder question


  Hi everyone, this is off topic here, but I have a digital Olympia Recorder
  that talks, and I have interfaced it to my computer many times to rename
  files or to transfer files, and I have a few questions here.  The first
  one goes with file order.  When the directory of what is on this machine
  is displayed on the computer it comes out in ABC order like any other
  folder or drive.  This goes for files that were recorded on the recorder
  itself, and .mp3 files that were created using another digital recorder.
  However, when I go to listen to them in the respective folders on the
  recorder they appear to be out of order, first with the MP3 files and then
  the wma files that were created with the recorder itself.Does anyone know
  what is causing this?
  Also,I am trying to burn music off from CDs I have and have gotten
  as far as transferring them over to the recorder after ripping them, but
  no sound comes out of those files.  Any help would be great, and thanks in
  advance.
