Title: How to play music files by track number instead of seq number?
Post by: ufoerp on March 17, 2019, 04:59:09 am: i am using the latest 24 version JRiver and have one problem for the play sequence.

if i copy a list of music files from Windows 7 Explorer into JRiver, it will play by one very strange sequence number instead of track number? Could I do jriver setup to change this to track number which i strongly prefer.

Many thanks!

However I have read somewhere on the forums that enabling Shell Integration (Tools>Options>General) and then highlighting the files in windows explorer from bottom to top and then dragging them into MC will play them in the right order.

when i copy all music tracks under one windows folder, jriver always wants to play per seq number instead of track number. Why user could not choose this?

Thanks,

yes, the track number is perfectly correct.

Post by: ~OHM~ on April 20, 2019, 04:17:51 am: click on the track # in the Column row this may help

posting in 2 platforms probably not a good Idea. so reading your post from MC24 my Idea may not work if your not playing the tracks threw MC

Thanks for your advice. However if everytime i need click track number, it is very inconvenient.

Thank you very much! I will use this method.

But does JRiver have some setup to follow the track number by default insteading of asking user manually adjust every time?

Cheers.

Unless you are viewing the files and drag them in using track #1, adding files to Media Center via Explorer tends to add them in the wrong order. I'm not sure why that is.
Media Center is really built to manage playback via your library rather than dragging files/folder into the player.
I recommend configuring auto-import if you have not already.
