Actually, I just thought of something. I need to test it though. I
remembered that there was some issue with leading zeroes, or maybe it
was using slashes (ie 1/100 vs 1 of 100) which is why I said to use
<Album> <Count> of <Total>.
The audiobooks from memory, go in a subdir of MUSIC, though I am using
an expansion SD card, not the onboard standard memory, which has a
different dir structure I think?. I'll see if I can replicate this and
solve exactly what is going on. Basically, once I realised that
changing (either or both?) of the leading zeroes in the TRACK field,
and the x/y to x of y in the TRACK TITLE FIELD, I never bothered
trying to figure it all out, since it solved the problem 100%
The book will show as UNKNOWN if the BOOK/ALBUM field is blank.
Remember that I am talking about audiobook mode (on an SD card) not
folder mode, which works on file and dir name instead.
We'll get there in the end!
