When I play back the discs on my iPod, they are playing in a random order. How do I make the book play in the right order?
Here are three things to try: • Make sure that Shuffle Mode is turned off: Settings > Shuffle > Off. • Make sure you’ve named the tracks in such a way that sorting them in name order is the right order, e.g., “Kill the Messenger 01”, “Kill the Messenger 02”, etc. • Make sure you’ve put the right track number and disc number information onto all the tracks. I leave the track numbers blank, and use the disc number only. It should be numbered sequentially, just like in the file names, except you don’t need leading zeros. This is frequently the problem; the straight importing procedure can leave semi-random information in the track fields if you are not careful to clear it out. As a last resort, you can create a new Playlist in iTunes, and manually add and order all of the tracks for the book. Then you will need to access the book via the Music > Playlists menu, but the tracks should appear in the right order.
