Maybe putting the player in the shuffle mode will place them in the correct sequence! lol I'm with you their maybe a couple of CD's that I have that I would want to listen to in thier correct order and for those I would make a playlist. As for the rest of my CD's I rarely keep more than a few of the of the tracks off of the CD. As with most people, their music collections on thier computer and players tend to be a greatest hits type of collection. Definitely not a big deal for me.
