Im sorry in advance for any confusion this might cause, Ill try to explain best I can!
I have every Ricky Gervais radio show as a series on mp3's, over 900 to be exact.
I had them in MC working fine. In the playlist there are in the follow order:
There is usually 6/7 tracks per section. so:
Date: 01-05-01
And each other section of that days radio show: 02
03
04
05
Then the next week:
08-05-01
02
03
04
05
and so forth!
Artist name is the seaon, say season 1 then 100 tracks later, season 2. Right up to season 4
And the album is: Ricky Gervias XFM Radio Show.
The order they are in are CRUCIAL! Listening to them out of order is almost painful. However, me being me, I fiddled with the order slightly, and without thinking renamed the tracks from sequence and renamed the actual file name too.
the filenames read: Track01-Season 1-Ricky Gervias XFM Radio Show.mp3
However DISASTER, they are out of order, so the tracks mean nothing. I basically overrode the previous track numbers.
Finally my question. I have an old library backup of my library which allthough obviously wont help me with track numbers (since I changed them) but it does retain the sequence. Which is crucial. Is there a way of somehow using the previous backups sequence order to put my current collection back to life. If i restore the backup file and use it, the songs are still all out of sequence.
Sorry I cant be more descriptive but its a very complicated problem! It would save me months of work If i could restore the right order.
Thanks
