Recently upgraded from 7.0.1 to 7.1. Now the order tracks play back in some comp. albums has changed. Is it due to the much-discussed changes in VA logic?
Symptom is when I play some comp. albums in my library, the tracks play back sorted by track artist name. For other comp. albums, the tracks play back correctly in TRACKNUMBER tag order. Possibly the -names- of the FLAC track files play a part? I've noticed that with OK albums, the track filenames are simply "TRACKNUMBER.flac". Problem albums have track filenames "Various (ARTIST) ~ ALBUM ~ TRACKNUMBER ~ TRACKNAME.flac". It appears that SC is playing back all the tracks for a particular compilation album in "-sorted-by-track-filename-" order, rather than obeying TRACKNUMBER tags. Please see attached zip file which contains the exact FLAC tags and filenames for all tracks on 2 example albums, one that exhibits the problem and one that doesn't. I currently don't use (and have never used) the COMPILATION tag, but I never had this problem in the past. Many users in the forum have resorted to adding the COMPILATION tag to their collections to sort this out while many other senior members have advised against it. Do you think the lack of this tag is responsible for this track playback order issue? Is there a concensual solution? Thanks, and best regards...
