I am using Windows Media Player 10 Mobile on my Sprint "Touch " telephone. I
have downloaded an educational mp3 file that has 18 tracks. I can only get 1
track to play at a time. Is there any way to play the tracks sequentially,
i.e one after another automatically. Thanks.

Awkward, but doable. In WMP, select each file sequentially from the
library/Music/All Music list, tapping Menu/Queue Up after each. Then
after you've Queued all 18, go to "Now Playing" tap Menu/Save Playlist and
give it a name. Now you can just play that playlist in the future.

WMP is poor at doing this, and you would have to set up a "playlist",
as described by Todd Allcock. However, your Touch should also have the
"HTC Audio Manager" which will handle the task easily (assuming that
your files have the right ID tags). Go in to Audio Manager, tap
"Library" then select "Album", you should find that all of the files
are grouped together. If the track information includes a sequence
number, they will be correctly ordered. Just tap a file to start
playing from that point.

Todd and William, thank you both for the help. Todd your suggestion worked.
William, I do not appear to have the HTC Audio Manager, but will go to their
website later to see if I can download it.

Strange. The Audio Manager is built in to the generic HTC Touch.
Perhaps Sprint take it out for some reason. Anyway, you can download
it here:

I retrofitted it to my O2 XDA-Orbit (aka HTC P3300) and I haven't used
WMP since then.
