Import Songs into iTunes Playlist in Correct Order
Authored by: soundsgoodtome on Oct 20, '07 02:51:56PM

I don't find any of these tips or methods to be fail-safe. Even with tracks whose names begin with track numbers, there seems to be no reliable way to get them to import in proper consecutive order.

I just tried setting a folder of tracks to column view, as suggested above -- and the tracks are also named sequentially -- but each time i drag the folder into itunes, the tracks are imported in some random order.

If these various methods are working 100% of the time for those who posted them, there must be other factors that come into play.

I typically keep iTunes sorted by "date added," so i can quickly see the items I've added most recently at the top. While sorted in that manner, I've found the only way I can add an album and have it play in order (without having to create a separate playlist) is to add the songs individually, starting with the highest-numbered track, and working backwards. But that's tedious, so I usually create a playlist of the album and sort by album or track number (which are essentially the same).
