Check your file dates, specifically the 'modification' or 'last updated'

then those albums won't bubble to the top of the New Music list. This

Really? I have just two. The first is a timestamp that, IIRC, denotes

In my experience LMS will listen on all IP addresses unless you direct

OP, one thing you can do would be to add the year to an ALBUMSORT field

it would you give the desired effect. And if you ever play all songs in

I don't believe there's a server setting that controls this. From what I

Similarly, playing all songs in a genre also sorts them by album name,

No, I don't use Fulltext Search, since I prefer the plain search. That
may very well be the source of the sorting problem.
To clarify what he's doing: Quick search, then clicking 'Alben' in the
drop-down menu, which then displays the search results for albums in the
browse pane (note the bread crumbs in the 2nd screen capture). There is
no sort option - it's sorted purely by album name.

With respect to the screensaver, yes. Pause causes the player to enter

This is really a question about Music Information Server, but I don't
think all of those are recognized states. What is "playing after

The bitrate displayed for streaming FLAC files isn't "wrong", per se
...it's the compressed bitrate, or the rate at which the data is being
streamed. Confusing, maybe, but not wrong.
And Transporter _is_ capable of 24 bit 96 KHz. It won't do 192 kHz and

You're aware, I would assume, that LMS allows a fixed volume adjustment
for streams under Settings > Player > Audio > Volume Adjustment for

analyzes an audio stream to provide a more accurate ReplayGain value.
