Doing songs in batch creates error sometimes

Put a number at the beginning of the filename?
My question is what does it matter what order they are converted? Even if you put them in alphabetical order, that doesn't actually change there position on the hard drive.

It does make a difference as the disk is created by track in alphabetical order, and the text file is given in that order as well when viewed, but when importing, it puts them in a random track order, numbering doesn't make any difference. The program has its own way of choosing the order.

that's what I am trying to find out.

Can't tell you. Since all of mine have DiskID-Track as part of the name, that is the order they are sorted in. Don't know what it chooses next if no track number is available.

Dale,
Does it sort by track number ( 1 thru 10, for example in that oreder) when you import them, or by another order.

I tried putting anumber and a " - "in front of the title,
but the order wasn't listed 1 thru 18, however.

When you songvert songs, have you created my situation where only half of them will songvert at a time, regardless of the initial number of songs started?

Never had the problem. If I convert a batch, they all convert.

Any idea why it would be happening only on my computer

I'm having the same problem but I discovered it only happens to me if I have Delete Original checked when converting. So for now I convert without deleting and when I'm finished I open that folder and manually delete it.
