OK, formatted card to FAT32 using Puppy Linux, put in XP machine, copy 6 MP3's named 001.mp3 - 006.mp3 to the card one-by one to keep things in the right order.
Still having problems.
If I ask for 002.mp3, the module is playing 001.mp3.
If I ask for 006.mp3, it does play 006.mp3, but any of the other numbers are not the correct songs.
I can't wait to see posts from you other members who have ordered some to play with, and see if you have the same problems.
My (very basic) test code is:
The commands($EF, $EA) are working fine - it's just the filenames I am still having issues with.
EDIT: Changed code so high 0 is FIRST, then it waits 5 seconds to allow the module to fire up, and this seems to be working - I will try more files in the sequence and let you know how it goes.
ANOTHER EDIT: Yes, this code seems to be working well. THERE IS ALSO A 4k7 PULLUP TO 5v ON THE RXD PIN - This is not on the circuit, but seems to help keep things stable from fire-up.
I will now add more files so I have more then 10, and rum more tests and post back with results.
Progress though.

Code:
high 0 ' Serial output pin idle-high
wait 5 'Allow module to fire up
start:
serout 0,T4800,($EF) 'STOP module
wait 2
serout 0,T4800,($02) 'PLAY song 002.mp3
wait 5
serout 0,T4800,($EA) 'PAUSE playback
wait 2
serout 0,T4800,($EA) 'UNPAUSE playback
wait 5
serout 0,T4800,($06) 'PLAY song 006.mp3
end
