just purchased MC9 yaaaaay </kermit>
Now my burning question to you, the peeps:
How do you get transferred albums to play in the correct order? Without changing the song titles?
My example: I typically dump a CD like this: CREATE/USE EXISTING ARTIST DIRECTORY, CREATE ALBUM DIRECTORY, CREATE INDIVIDUAL SONG FILES USING NN - SONG TITLE.mp3 where NN is the sequential track number on the CD.
So I get (for example):
E:\Self (directory)
E:\Self\Breakfast With Girls (directory)
E:\Self\Breakfast With Girls\01 - The End Of It All.mp3
E:\Self\Breakfast With Girls\02 - Kill The Barflies.mp3
E:\Self\Breakfast With Girls\03 - Meg Ryan.mp3
E:\Self\Breakfast With Girls\04 - Suzie Q Sailaway.mp3
E:\Self\Breakfast With Girls\05 - Uno Song.mp3
E:\Self\Breakfast With Girls\06 - Paint By Numbers.mp3
E:\Self\Breakfast With Girls\07 - What Are You Thinking.mp3
E:\Self\Breakfast With Girls\08 - Sucker.mp3
E:\Self\Breakfast With Girls\09 - Breakfast With Girls.mp3
E:\Self\Breakfast With Girls\10 - Better Than Aliens.mp3
E:\Self\Breakfast With Girls\11 - It All Comes Out In The Wash.mp3
E:\Self\Breakfast With Girls\12 - Callgirls.mp3
E:\Self\Breakfast With Girls\13 - Placing The Blame.mp3
..and this is good. from a filesystem standpoint. I always know what the album order is.
But when I copy these over to my portable, I get:
Artist: Self (good!)
-->Album: Breakfast With Girls (good!)
----->Better Than Aliens
----->Breakfast With Girls
----->Callgirls
----->It All Comes Out In The Wash
----->Kill The Barflies
----->Meg Ryan
----->Paint By Numbers
----->Placing The Blame
----->Sucker
----->Suzie Q Sailaway
----->The End Of It All
----->Uno Song
----->What Are You Thinking
(no no no no no.)
The Handheld sorts alphabetically, but I want it to sort albumetically (new word for y'all). What's more, I don't want to have to change all my mp3's to have Song Title tags starting with NN - (which would solve the problem.)
That is to say that I don't want to have "Meg Ryan" show up as "03 - Meg Ryan" on the playlist.
Ideas?
Do I have to create album playlists? that would seem extraordinarily silly in this dayandage.
Cheers!
