Hi again, sorry Its taken me so long to respond. Skip to end if you just want a solution and don't care about the why of the problem. The problems with file placement are caused by a combination of the way the fat32 file system stores files, the way our stereo reads the file system and the way drag and drop works in windows. the simplest way to took at it is to say that when a file is copied to a drive the file system assigns it a number.

If you copy a folder containing incorrectly placed files their placement will
