CDROM to flash drive -

        I bought a series of lectures and happily downloaded the first
        two series. Several weeks later I found that they had changed
        their system, installed a new "download manager" which rejects
        my Linux access.

        I protested and they sent me a set of disks, beautifully put up,
        etc. My problem is that each series, there are four, is on 12
        CD's, each of which has a dozen mp3 tracks on it. I need to put
        all of them on a flash drive to play in my digital audio book
        player.

        I copied each of 12 disks into separate directories, 0/ through
        11/, that works fine they will play on Audacious, but when I try
        to copy them all into one directory which I named Flash/ using
        the file manager it insists on sorting them and completely
        destroys the order of things.

        I see no option to simply append as I paste.

        They have offered a refund, anxious to get rid of me no doubt.
        But I would like to make the copies rather than just give up.

        Perhaps someone can put me on the right track. I will provide
        more details if required.

        Bob
