Sorting by track order within a folder using MP3 tags?
Posted: Mon Feb 15, 2010 5:12 am
I'm running TMS 4.4.9 on a Win2K server. The hardware are D-Link DSM-320s with firmware Rev. 1.9.
I have TMS set to "Simple Default Navigation" and I have no problem in showing tracks in proper order within a folder. Each folder is an album and each MP3 tag has the proper track number. Also, each MP3 file name begins with the track number.
However, I just bought a license for my friend for TMS 5.12 and it is running on her WinXP desktop to serve another D-Link DSM-320 with firmware Rev. 1.9. On her DSM-320, the tracks all show up in alphabetical order of track name when using "Simple Default Navigation."
I've tried changing the navigation method in TMS to all four options, but the result is the same. After each change, I rebuild the index.
Why does this happen with TMS 5.12 and not with TMS 4.4.9? The hardware and firmware of the players is identical. The media files are also identical (I sync my files to her PC). The only differences are (1) TMS is running on Win2K on my machine and WinXP on hers, and (2) I'm running a slightly older version of TMS. I'm at the point where I'm going to have to uninstall TMS 5.12 and install TMS 4.4.9 on her machine so it will work properly.
