Build 44 allows you to select a custom templates file in Theater View Options.  You can select any file you place in {Library Directory}\Templates.  The pre-MC32 templates file (text-based) is placed there automatically for selection.  This means no more re-importing your backup when there are changes to the default (if you select a different file in Options).

WHOO-HOO!!! Thank you!!!

As you can see from the header it came from our machine so it’s not phishing.
The mailing list for mc32 owners tried to send a message to you which originally failed.

Group or sort? Grouping is different than sort. Do you want to group e.g. by [album artist] - [album] [File Type] so that your mp3 and flac files of the same album are grouped separately

If that is the case you can create new calculated library field with rule [Album Artist (auto)] - [Album] /[[File Type]/] and use that to group your files

MC can sort by whatever order you like, as long as you have the correct data in the tags.
Try using [File Type] instead of [Audio Codec]. The Audio Codec seems to be a custom field added by you, so it may not have the correct info.

If it still doesn't work, perhaps we're talking about different things. Where/what exactly are you trying to sort? Generally speaking, you can sort Views and Playlists. You can try out different sorting orders simply by clicking on the Column Headers of your file list. The order of the clicked columns determines the final sort order.

Try
Audio Codec > Artist Album (Auto) >  Year > Album > Track#

Or if you want the duplicate albums together:
Artist Album (Auto) >  Year > Album > Audio Codec > Track#

hi
it doesn't work
I have tested on only 1 album in 2 formats , flac and mp3 , just to make it more easy
and it does not separete the albums
but maybe jriver media center 32 can't group the albums by folders or codecs
but may i ask you have you tested?
thanks

Try
Audio Codec > Artist Album (Auto) >  Year > Album > Track#

Or if you want the duplicate albums together:
Artist Album (Auto) >  Year > Album > Audio Codec > Track#

Can you see the MXN10 under Playing Now in Media Center?  If so, can you play to it from Media Center.
It might be worth installing the White Bear analyzer and see what it has to say.  There may be some settings you need to change. https://www.whitebear.ch/dmra.htm

Try moving "Audio Codec" to the top on the sort order and Track# to the bottom.
Filename (Path) probably needs to be removed too.

Hi

it 's the same album ripped in flac , mp3 and aac
might you please give a test?
thanks

No, but you may be able to find them on ebay.  HP was a reliable brand.
