Title: Scrambling songs out of order
Post by: Stacy on February 10, 2002, 07:12:40 am
I ripped a Radiohead CD and it scrambled all the songs out of order. Do you know how to keep all the songs in order?  Also, how to keep them from going in alphabetical order if you burn songs from several CDs.

Thanks!

Did you have shuffle turned on?

It's not playing songs out of order.  When I go to burn a disk, the songs go into alphabetical order, instead of the order of the album.

Shuffle is in the Player menu.

Do the songs have track #'s?

Check in Settings / Options / Tree & View Settings and you may find that you have views sorted by Name. I have mine set Artist / Album / Track # / Name.

How do you do that?  Name is at the top of settings, so that would have to be first.  I just re-burned Radiohead and now the songs are just in random order, not alpha...what is going on?

Stacy,
    You can add more fields using the Add option and the used the Edit option to moved them up and down the list so that they are in the correct order.

Stacy,

But don't forget to "Update Order". Right-click the burnlist and it will be in the drop-down menu.

I just got the latest Media Jukebox installed.
It did the search and found all my music files that I originally had from Windows XP Media Payer, but the order is not correct (in Alphabetical rather than by track).  Although the files in Windows MP are filed in order in their directory by track, this information did not “transfer” to MJ and thus the track column reads as “0” for all.  
Any ripped CD’s are fine.

Incidentally, I have run Media Jukebox though the loops and have found this software kicks Windows Media Player ass in all respects!

Regards,
Robert

Sounds like WMP didn't store the track # in the file's tag, but only its database.

Do your files have the track number in the filename? If they do, then there's an easy way to fix it. If not, it might be tricky to very difficult to fix.
