MinnieMin 2 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Hello. Whenever I go to play an album of music files, when I open the album it shows me the list of files in a seemingly trandom order, despite my music being tagged and definitely having the TRACK_NUMBER tag present. I am looking at an album I just went to right now and it says 06 track six title 13 track thirteen title 01 track one title and so on... The actual files in the folder in Windows 7 I am using, are named likeL 01 Track Title.mp3 02 Track Title.mp3 03 Track Title.mp3 etc. If you want me to include any photographs or LOGS do let me know. This is on the Samsung TV app and we already established the fact hat my TV uses the older version. Version: 0.122 (0.122 Installed) (Updated 2018-10-11) Is there ANYTHING I can do about this? All I want is to be able to play my music in the correct order. Thank you for any help and for reading this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37116 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Hi there, the app needs to be updated but unfortunately Samsung no longer accepts updates for these older models. Instead of playing the album, what if you play the first song? How does that compare? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinnieMin 2 Posted January 26, 2022 Author Share Posted January 26, 2022 Hey thanks for responding Luke. If I play the first song it simply plays track 01 and then plays the next track in this random order it has the tracks laid out before me in. So if track 01 is halfway down the list of tracks then after it it will play the next track in the list. If you mean what happens if I play the very first track in the list - whatever its track number- then it will play it and then the next one and the next one but, as I say, they are all randomly ordered tracks so it is what I am trying to avoid. It is so bad when you choose a pink Floyd album and it plays you track 6 first and ends with track 4 or something as those albums are really required to be played in the correct order. I wonder what makes it do this and if there could be some workaround...maybe I can do something in the tagging. I will experiment by removing the tags from an album and then trying every damn configuration of tags I can think of and testing them out. Perhaps one way will just make it more likely to have the right order..! Got to be worth a try I suppose... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
