(while most of my library is FLAC, I do a batch convert every now and then to a decent quality. I don’t have that car anymore (was an old company car) I can’t remember if it was the track number tag or the filename but I distinctly remember needing to use three digits to make that work correctly. So for the album above it would actually playīTW you are correct re: two digit leading track numbers… that seems to work on most everything EXCEPT Ford Sync using USB. However, when I navigate using “by folder” Twonky does not serve up a list of tracks in order of either filename or track number as you’d expect - and either option would work as you can see using my naming convention as above - but rather alphabetically by track name tag, which does not have the leading two digit track number. Most of this music is ripped off of old CDs using EAC which I have set up to follow this format automatically so 90 plus percent of my files are consistent in this respect, and because I’ve tried to do a really good job of following a rigid logical folder structure it is easiest for me to navigate through my collection using folder view. (or appropriate path for the WD unit, but you get the idea) the first track on Cream’s 1967 album would be as followsĬ:\Users\N8N\My Music\Cream\1967 - Disraeli Gears\01 Strange Brew.flac My file names are labeled as you describe, actually - e,g. Yes, I’m certain that it is Twonky that is not behaving as I’d expect it to as a) I’m using several different playback devices and they all behave similarly (mostly a Denon AVR-3310ci and a Sony blu-ray player, although I have tried other devices as well that have the capability of streaming across a network from a DLNA server) and b) I installed Serviio on my laptop to try and that seems to operate as I’d expect. Hi cpt_paranoia, and thanks for the reply. It might be worth looking at your filenames, and doing something like this. Fortunately, MediaMonkey can automatically re-name files to use this naming structure. In this way, even simple directory sorts were pretty sure to list in correct track order. And later, I decided that the track number should be two-digit, leading-zero format. Then I learnt about metadata labelling and sorting, and realised it was better to add a track number prefix to filenames. My music library is created using MediaMonkey, and my initial modus operandi was to insist that filenames were exactly the track name, with no track number. Even within a single app (Linn’s Kinsky DMC, for instance), the track order is different for each of the different DLNA database views view ‘By Folder’, for instance, using the file name, whereas ‘Artist/Album’ sorts by track ID.Īnd this is my experience with a number of media players I’ve used over the years. I’ve been looking at DLNA/UPnP apps on Android, IOS and windows recently, looking for a good DMC/DMP app, and I note that each of them have their own way of displaying track order.
