Neil,
   Thanks. I'll give it a try and report back any results. I guess I'm
only moderately confident as I'm not clear how the group of MP3 files
keeps the original track order. Are those written into the MP3 file by
the converter? Where does it get the info if I've removed the track
numbers from the file names. Is it already in the FLAC files?

   Anyway, I'll give it a try on a few directories and see how it works.

Cheers,
Mark
