Reverse playlists?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc.multimedia (More info?)

Imagine how embarrased you'd be if you found a menu setting which said
"shuffle" or "reverse" and found that was the cause. I don't know if
WMP8.5 has this, but 9 has a "shuffle" setting under Tools.

It might be worth a quick look to see if that isn't interfering ...

The Shuffle menu item is for random play and there is no Reverse menu
option.

If there were a 'Reverse' option and I had not thought to look before I
posted then yes, I would be embarassed.

But really, I'm just wondering if others have experienced the same thing...

The reveresed play list is confirmed by HP for all WMPs 8.5. or better as bug.
I can confirm this for H3970, H5500, RX3715, HX2750 from HP, and Delta 300
(WM2k3) from Yakumo. On WMP 10 play list looks lot worse more randomised than
before, no order can be found (updated RX3715)

The reason I was even looking on this board was the same thing. I enjoy
listening to audio books with about 200 files. I add the folder to a
playlist and then have to manually reorder the entire list because it is
ALWAYS backwards. Any help would be appreciated.

I have an Dell Axim x5 MP version 9.0 Build 13100
