Computer geeks please help!!!

I bought a car stereo several months ago. It's very cool because it has a USB cord so I just have to save my music on a flashdrive and I can play it in my car without having to lug 10,000 cds to my car.

My issue:

I'm trying to put some Prince music on my flash. I'm starting from cd #1 For You.

CD 1, 2, &3 are okay. When it gets to 4 which should be Controversy it skips to 1999. Then it plays 1999 in a weird order. I've numbered everything so I thought that it would follow the numbered order.


Does this make sense to anyone?

Even though it's playing randomly, it's still pretty cool.

Tracks need to have sequential numbers before them to play in order on a USB Flash. Could this be the problem?
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

Oh, I see you did number them. Try numbering them 01., 02., 03.(with the periods) instead of 1, 2, 3...

I bet it's playing 1999 in alphabetical order isn't it
