Organize by Track Number
« on: November 18, 2007, 08:54:51 PM »
Is there anyway I can have my database organize my tracks by their track number instead of Alphabetical order?

Could you explain the issue?  When I choose the Database and then Album, my songs from the album are in track (not alpha) order.

I can't imagine that you're trying to get a list of all first tracks across the player, then all second trackes, etc., but maybe I'm missing something.

I can't understand why would be preferable the database complication to the plain and simple folder navigation, with mp3 files in their folders, or custom playlists...

It depends what you want to do.

If you want to just play albums, and have an artist/album/tracks style sirectory structure, then there is no need for the database.

However if you want to create playlists by genre, or year, or... then the database can be useful.

Personally I do not use the database, and would abhorr being forced to use one - that is one of the reasons (ignoring superior hardware etc.) I originally bought an H100 and not an iPod (this is before rockbox ran on the H100s).   However, having the option is useful for many people, especially if they insist on using something like itunes with it's stupid renaming and mangling of firectory structure (or have to use itunes so they can still use the OF).
