Post [How to] Get songs to play in TRACK order not Alphabetical

I just loaded a number of tracks into my new player and they only play in alphabetical order. How do I get them to play in track number order? I want to hear my music the same way as it was on the album.


Answer:

You need to include a number in the track naming sequence. For your existing track rips download a track name editing software package from the download section of this website. Using the freeDB lookup function get the names from the DB and make sure you include the track number. For new rips make sure your ripper includes a numbering function.

Your rips should look like this:

01 – first song

02 – second song

09 – this song

10 – song after that

Without the zero in place your player may skip around in playing tracks so remember to include this place holder.

Enjoy
