Browsing by music folder reads straight from the file system. If you use any other browsing mode (Artists, Albums, Genres, etc) then SBS will use the tags and sort by them. Although I recommend first testing it on a handful of albums to make sure it does what you want before you let it loose on 1000s of tracks.
So one option is not browsing by music folder. But if for various reasons you still want to use 'music folder', then it's a simple matter to add tracknumbers to the filenames IF you have the track number tags in the files. Use a good tagging tool like mp3tag (freeware from www.mp3tag.de) and you can rename 1000s of tracks to add the tracknumber to the beginning in about the same amount of time it took for you to read this post. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85989 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
