Okay, here's a weird problem -- My wife just bought a 2014 Nissan Altima.  So, I took her iTunes library and converted the .m4a files to .mp3, since the car audio system only supports .mp3 and .wma.  So far so good.  Then I copied the files to a DOS FAT-32 formatted USB thumb drive, and connected the drive to the car's USB port, only to find all of the tracks were out of sequence.  All tracks begin with a two digit numeric prefix, i.e., 01, 02, 03, etc.  So you would think they would be in order.  So I called Nissan Connect support and the rep told me that there is a known problem with reading files in the correct order.  He said the files are read in the same order they are written.  So, I manually copied a few albums with the tracks in a predetermined order, and sure enough he was correct.  
So I copied about 6 albums for testing, then changed to the top level directory and did a "find . music.txt".  Then I passed this file to rsync like this:
rsync -av --files-from=music.txt . ../Marys\ Music\ Sequenced/
The files looked like they were copied in order, but when I listed the files in order of modified time, they were in the same sequence as the original files:
../Marys Music Sequenced/Air Supply/Air Supply Greatest Hits ls -1rt
01 Lost In Love.mp3
04 Every Woman In The World.mp3
03 Chances.mp3
02 All Out Of Love.mp3
06 Here I Am (Just When I Thought I Was Over You).mp3
05 The One That You Love.mp3
08 I Want To Give It All.mp3
07 Sweet Dreams.mp3
11 Young Love.mp3
So the question is, how can I copy files listed in a file named music.txt, and copy them to a destination, and ensure the modification times are in the same sequence as the files are listed?
