No, I don't break them for sorting to work, Simply I correct them so I avoid ambiguities. For antologies (or double/triple albums) * Put the same "disk name","year" and "artist name" labels in every track, * Set "track number" and "track name" labels for every track * Set "disk number" label for diferenciating tracks from a disk from tracks from another For compilations, * Put the same "disk name" and "year" in every track * Set "artist name", "track number" and "track name" for every track * Set "disk number" if needed That way, my labels are *completely correct*, and every well behaved player can order my tracks by album... > I name them "<DISK>-<TRACK> <TITLE>" and it works great ;-) Yes, but I have not them named that way ;) > >> sorting "by file name" really turns out to be a very good solution. > > > > Not for me ;) > > Because you find "changing ID3 tags" to be simpler than "changing > file names". No, because I already have all my music with correct id3 tags, but not with homogenous filenames. Doing nothing is simpler than renaming my 15000+ songs :) > An algorithm that uses both ID3 tags and filenames (mostly just > directory names, actually) should be able to accomodate all situations.
