I am still trying to burn a cd slide show. I went to custom name fileing and it seemed to work The list was in the proper order. But when I burn it  25 or so files are not numbered and burned at the end destroying the slide show. I even tried renaming the files. There are 400 files to burn including 30 mp3 files. It appears to only number 368 files. Is this the limit that it can keep in order.  ? ? ?

It appears that it leaves a space for the numbered files but doesn't put the number on them and sends them to the back. I can't see any difference in the files. It seems to choose the same ones each time I have tried to burn them.

It seems to put the number in the properties of the file but not on the name. It does it randomly. How can I solve this?

I don't have a solution DH...just a general comment. Data CD's read by virtually every device are sorted by filename...not address (or burn order). JohnT used to have a burn option in MC that would increment individual file time/date stamps by a second or a minute. That way you had something to sort upon to re-create the burn order upon playback (though data burns are accompanied by an m3u...but that may only work with audio files). So it's sounds like the prefixing of files with an indexed number is not working completely, which is why I'll ask JohnT to consider putting the time stamp option as outlined above back into MC's burn engine.

I've discovered that each file that is out of order in tag information says that this file cannot be renamed. So if anyone can tell me why and how i can get these files renamed I think it will work.

Would the renaming scheme produce any duplicates?

What is the exact message that you get?  Are the files read only? (right click properties) Can you move them to another folder and then rename them?

I just tried a data CD with 5051 jpg's and all of the filenames were prefixed with the sequential number ok (0001 - 5051). When you queue up your files for burning, take a look at the list that's going to be burned (click the Details button) and see if the filenames are correctly prefixed before the burn starts. Hit F5 to refresh the right view.

Wonder of Wonders. I took one of the cd's I made and played it by putting it in list style and clicking play on the cd. IT WAS IN ORDER!

So the problem wasn't with the disk being in order but how MC played it. MC certainly makes you work at it.
