R.e. W810i (and W800 too?) not listing Albums in the correct order once imported....
I've found that if you create a new Playlist and then add the album via Add Media (Click to 'Mark' the Album, then click 'More', then 'Add') You'll find that it adds all the tracks of the album to the Playlist in the correct order. Ok, you have to create playlists for each of your albums, but this is the quickest way I've found of listing albums in the correct way without having to re-import all the tracks to your phone in reverse order...

Ok so I've never owned an MP3 player before. My W810 is the first and I'm loving it. However, I've noticed that when I transfer a CD that is a solid-no breaks-mix, well it seperates the tracks during playback with a pause in between. WTF?
Is this normal in all players?

it is with the walkman phones mate. Happened on my w810 and k750, really annoying as all my music is mixed. You cant change it to play continuously i dont think!!!

Cool. Well thanks for the response.
I'm sure if we hide and wait long enough one of Esato's tech handy wizards will wip up some festive remix friendly solution eventually.
Cheers.

Here's a possible solution that works on my W810i...
You get the right order of album tracks, as long as you access them via
artists > artist name > album name. No good going via artists > all >
album name. Nope, that gives you tracks in alpahbetical order.
So the issue remains for "various artists" compliations etc
but works for your vanilla albums. Creating a playlist on the phone seem to be the way to deal with that, and it seems to learn the right order from track numbers.
FYI I just copy files over from my PC via USB (no messing with Disc2Phone or anything), and organise them in directories same as on the PC which works for Winamp:
artist
album
trackname
trackname in the format:
08 - London's Burning.mp3
Files have the right tags with track numbers (which may be the clue). Filename may not actually matter, I've not tested.
First I thought you had to create a playlist to fix it, then I thought you needed to go to the walkman window where you are playing a track (any track, I think). select MORE > SORT > and select AS CREATED . But now I can't see that the option does anything
Enjoy!

I converted all songs from my CDs using iTunes and edit the tag info of each song, including filled in the track number, also on iTunes.
Then I copied the songs thru card reader to my W800 and W800 sorted all songs in the right order.

I think I've worked out precisely what the W810i is up to with regard to track playing order - for M4A files anyway !
- Copying M4A files to the memory stick using a card reader and windows, the W810i seems to play them in reverse order by default.
- If, while playing an album, you select "more" then "sort" and "title", it will sort the tracks by the titles in the tags, NOT anything related to the filename.
- So, you can put a track number in front of the track name in each tag, then select "more>sort>title" and will play them in the correct order.
- UNFORTUNATELY, it seems to completely forget the requested sort order when you change album, so the sort option is rather useless!
I have resorted to dragging and dropping tracks in reverse order from windows - this seems to get the desired result.
I wish SE would pull their finger out and improve the firmware to actually use the track numbers in the tags. It would also seem rather sensible to have a menu option to chose ALBUMS as well as just artists. Loads of people must use these phones to play compilation albums, and they make this really awkward to set up.
