It's also a pain for language lessons or anything
where order is important.

I have found not "good" solution, except to add
the files, and then reverse them manually.

CE Playlist is a PPC program to build and rebuild playlists. I use it to
resort the PC generated play list for audio books.

Since drag-n-drop selection doesn't work on a PPC ;-) I generally create a
playlist on my PC and then copy it to my PPC and "fix" it with CE Playlist.

It also handles asx, m3u, and wpl conversion so if your ppc has an old
version of wmp you can still use a new version on the pc to generate the
playlists.

Or search for it at http://www.handango.com if that doesn't work.

Good hint.

Playlist.

You can certainly create the playlist with something close --
from the player create the play list, select the files (by click or
drag), but this is the very thing that puts them in BACKWARDS.

I even tried selecting them backwards (many times) on the theory
it would reverse them. It didn't.

It seems to always include them in the reverse DIRECTORY order.

Cool.

What's it cost? (I'll go look...) $9.95
