        I noticed that with version 0.97 some CD's end up having their
songs sorted on the iPod alphabetically, rather than in the order of
songs on the CD.  I've started to trace this behavior and by looking
at the original mp3s ( I used id3edit to dump the mp3 tags) and found
that indeed the tags show the correct order of songs on the CD.  Next
I looked at the GNU*.xml files on the iPod as created in the .gnupod
directory and noticed that in some cases the songnum equals 0 in those
cases where the sort is messed up.  Also, the path in the xml file
is truncated at the begining of the file name.

Next I plan on traceing the code in gnupod_addsong and the libraries but felt you should be aware of this behavior. I'll let
you know if I figure out a cause and a fix.

     BTW, version 0.95 works fine.

Cheers,
