1 In this file I will concentrate on the meaning and order of the files,\r
2 rather than in their encoding format.\r
3 \r
4 Let say we add the following albums to a sony walkman (in this order):\r
5 \r
6 group | artist Names | albums Names | genre | nb songs\r
7 ------+---------------+-----------------------+----------+--------------\r
8 dir1 | the roots | game theory | hip hop | 2 songs \r
9 dir2 | u_Artist | u_Album | ambient | 4 songs \r
10 dir2 | j_Artist | j_Album | ambient | 5 songs \r
11 dir3 | the roots | things fall apart | hip hop | 3 songs \r
12 dir4 | MIG | dhikrayat | ethnic | 6 songs \r
13 total 20 songs\r
14 \r
15 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------\r
16 04CNTINF.DAT explained : (contains one list)\r
17 ------------------------\r
18 in this file you have every song's tags (title, album, artist, genre)\r
19 \r
20 the songs are ordered by FILE_ORDER,\r
21 FILE_ORDER correspond to the OMA file names.\r
22 \r
23 for example, the song with FILE_ORDER=63 is file 1000003f.OMA\r
24 \r
25 this FILE_ORDER is basically the order in which you added the songs.\r
26 (but things can get complicated if you delete and then add another file)\r
27 \r
28 so in our case we have the following order:\r
29 FILE_ORDER=01 game theory_song1\r
30 FILE_ORDER=02 game theory_song2\r
31 FILE_ORDER=03 u_album_song1\r
32 FILE_ORDER=04 u_album_song2\r
33 FILE_ORDER=05 u_album_song3\r
34 FILE_ORDER=06 u_album_song4\r
35 FILE_ORDER=07 j_album_song1\r
36 FILE_ORDER=08 j_album_song2\r
37 FILE_ORDER=09 j_album_song3\r
38 FILE_ORDER=10 j_album_song4\r
39 FILE_ORDER=11 j_album_song5\r
40 FILE_ORDER=12 things fall apart_song1\r
41 FILE_ORDER=13 things fall apart_song2\r
42 FILE_ORDER=14 things fall apart_song3\r
43 FILE_ORDER=15 dhikrayat_song1\r
44 FILE_ORDER=16 dhikrayat_song2\r
45 FILE_ORDER=17 dhikrayat_song3\r
46 FILE_ORDER=18 dhikrayat_song4\r
47 FILE_ORDER=19 dhikrayat_song5\r
48 FILE_ORDER=20 dhikrayat_song6\r
