Re playback order, I find it odd that the default playback order is alphabetically. My experience with MOS-based players is that the default order has always been the order in which the tracks were downloaded i.e. creation date/time. (Within albums, that is; overall default for display of artist or album titles is alphabetical.) I wonder if the problem arose when the playlist feature was added or if it may be due to the PC-resident software used to load the player. Has anyone watched during the download process to see what order the tracks are being transferred in, alphabetic or otherwise?
