Windows Forum / Windows Media / General Topics / September 2006Multiple Disc Albums
Will WMP11 be including a way to sort your albums by disc number aswell as track number? At the moment, without sorting by file name, my albums with >1 discs are ordered incorrectly first by album, then by track, then alphabetically by title: Album - Track - Title Compilation - 1 - Air Compilation - 1 - Brick Compilation - 1 - Llama Compilation - 2 - Epsilon Compilation - 2 - Monkey Compilation - 2 - Zappa Compilation - 3 - Gemini Compilation - 3 - Hippo Compilation - 3 - Moose (For a 3 CD album) as opposed to say, iTunes, which orders it first by album, then by disc, then track, then alphabetically by title (Not that this last one should make a difference by this point): Album - Disc - Track - Title Compilation - 1 - 1 - Air Compilation - 1 - 2 - Monkey Compilation - 1 - 3 - Moose Compilation - 2 - 1 - Llama Compilation - 2 - 2 - Zappa Compilation - 2 - 3 - Hippo Compilation - 3 - 1 - Brick Compilation - 3 - 2 - Epsilon Compilation - 3 - 3 - Gemini I know the information is stored in the tag, as Tag&Rename can find it, as does iTunes, but as yet theres no way to sort by it, or edit it in WMP. It would be the same as in previous versions, append CD1 or Disk1 etc to the end of the album name. > Will WMP11 be including a way to sort your albums by disc number aswell > as track number?

Yeah, that was my previous method, but my question was, will WMP11 eventaully support this? Since they even included the tag in WMA, their own format, it seems a bit stupid to leave it out of their primary media player! Also, does anyone on the media player team even visit this group? > It would be the same as in previous versions, append CD1 or Disk1 etc to the > end of the album name.

Not all media formats support a disc tag anyway, so it would be a little weird if some files sorted one way, and some another. Zach visits the group in an unofficial capacity. This beta is being run in a "have it both ways" sense by Microsoft. They put the beta out to the public and don't provide any mechanism to report bugs other than through product support. This is only really possible inside the US - as the release notes indicate. > Yeah, that was my previous method, but my question was, will WMP11 > eventaully support this?

Ive down load some albums, and there loaded into some times as many as 4 sections, but the same album shows up on the art work, and they are not in the right order either ie123, any body got any thoughts ? > I doubt they will change it.

This is a completely different issue, which should not be attached to tis thread. It's actually been discussed in a few other threads already. > Ive down load some albums, and there loaded into some times as many as 4 > sections, but the same album shows up on the art work, and they are not in [quoted text clipped - 65 lines] >> >> > in >> >> > WMP. |
