Hey

Anyway, sorts are pretty much dried up. Tools are still there and still useful.

Hi Darkfalz.
I emailed you a while back about sorttxts but didn't get a response. I have several to send to you, but I wanted to know about using them. Using sorts just doesn't work for me. A friend of mine has tried and gets the same results I do... nada.

Is there a certain version of Mkisofs that you need to use?
Is it the operating system that screws it up? (I use Win98SE)

I've tried using mkisofs 1.11, 1.12, 1.14, 1.15, and 2.0. None of them sort at all for me except 1.11 or 1.12 (can't remember which) and it doesn't sort properly, it just sorts randomly.

If you still want to send me those sorts that would be great (email is on my homepage). It's possible I didn't get your email because the Hotmail spam filter is pretty agressive - I have switched to gmail anyway.

Using them is case sensitive on the command line (in terms of where your data is contained and specified in the sort), plus are you using the proper sort format rather than FileList.txt format?

Quite a few things could go wrong...

Boy, is my face red.
I thought I had tried everything, but it never crossed my mind that "data/" in the sort would be case sensitive! Now it works. Too bad I already put a lot of my rips on black CDRs without sorting them.
Thanks for that info Darkfalz. I've asked that question about sorts several times before, but you're the first to respond.
I'll send you a mess of sorts as soon as I decide to give my other PC a break, (it's doing a lot of ripping right now).

Later,
