I've had issues in the past where the cars built-in MP3 player only played
files in the order they are physically stored in the USB sticks directory.
Luckily, the cars since then do proper sorting of the files it finds.
Back when this was an issue I wrote a script to copy my MP3s to a fully
deleted USB stick in the correct play order.
Have you checked to see if this is the issue? If not, then the OS running
your player is doing something very weird with sorting filenames. Maybe
it's sorting them based on the MP3 tags and changing them might help.
Getting back to physically joining files though, go back and try the ones
you already used and make sure they are set to *copy* the data
during the process, not re-encode them. Re-encoding is almost certainly
why they seem slow.
Have you tried a GUI based bulk rename program? Maybe renameing
the files by removing the - might help? ie 1-01 to 101, 1-02 to 102 etc.
Good luck, and I'm sure a Windows user will be along any time now to
point you at something else to try.
