numbering sequence with over 100 tracks

[MPeg3]

I often record speeches and break them into tracks (using Audacity) for easier searching. I now am working with a very long speech that broke into 104 tracks. However, when I exported them using Export Multiple, the numbering sequence came up as 01-104. When I transfer this to my Mp3 player, it throws the numbering off as the 100-104 fall between 10 and 11. Is there a way to get it to number them as 001-104, or can you recommend a program that will renumber them for me.

Thank you

I now why it's happening. It's a leading zeros problem. In a block of 900 items there is no "1." There is "001." You count from the left, computers count from the right.

However, it's not Audacity's problem, although I would have required leading zeros myself. The Music Player wasn't expecting cuts over 100. There is another error at the 9 to 11 jump. Did the player get that one OK?

There is another strange, semi-unrelated item as well. Music CDs can't go over 100. So lots of messy things happen past 99.

Any way you can cut the work so it doesn't go over 99?

In Audacity 1.3.10 (this may not be available in Audacity 1.2)

When you add the labels, number the labels:
001
002
003
...
...
010
011
012
...
999

Then when you Export Multiple, select the "Name files" > "Using Label/Track Name"
