Song Order

This entertainment system is making me crazy. In my PiP if I picked "All Albums" by a particular artist I got a listing of songs sorted by album, then by track number. In the Prime it sorts all the songs alphabetically so all of the songs from different albums are all jumbled together. This is particularly irritating for multi-disk albums. Instead of playing all the tracks from disk 1 and then all the tracks from disk 2, the Prime plays all of the tracks #1 from each disk and then all of the tracks #2 from each disk and so on.

Is there any way to change that behavior short of spending an entire weekend re-organizing my music library to be named in a particular way to work around the Prime's insistence on strict alphabetical order?

EDIT - I should add that the files are tagged appropriately with the disk number

 

For example, if I select ALBUM and choose Pink Floyd's The Wall, it should list the tracks and play in this order:

DISK 1
1. In The Flesh?
2. The Thin Ice
3. Another Brick In The Wall Part 1
4. The Happiest Days Of Our Lives
5. Another Brick In The Wall Part 2
6. Mother
7. Goodbye Blue Sky
8. Empty Spaces
9. Young Lust
10. One Of My Turns
11. Don't Leave Me Now
12. Another Brick In The Wall Part 3
13. Goodbye Cruel World

DISK 2
1. Hey You
2. Is There Anybody Out There?
3. Nobody Home
4. Vera
5. Bring The Boys Back Home
6. Comfortably Numb
7. The Show Must Go On
8. In The Flesh
9. Run Like Hell
10. Waiting For The Worms
11. Stop
12. The Trial
13. Outside The Wall

The way the Prime lists and plays it:

1. Hey You
1. In The Flesh?
2. Is There Anybody Out There?
2. The Thin Ice
3. Another Brick In The Wall Part 1
3. Nobody Home
4. The Happiest Days Of Our Lives
4. Vera
5. Another Brick In The Wall Part 2
5. Bring The Boys Back Home
6. Comfortably Numb
6. Mother
7. Goodbye Blue Sky
7. The Show Must Go On
8. Empty Spaces
8. In The Flesh
9. Run Like Hell
9. Young Lust
10. One Of My Turns
10. Waiting For The Worms
11. Don't Leave Me Now
11. Stop
12. Another Brick In The Wall Part 3
12. The Trial
13. Goodbye Cruel World
13. Outside The Wall

This is an example of how each song is tagged:

Artist Name : Pink Floyd
Track Title : In The Flesh
Album Title : The Wall
Date : 1979
Track Number : 8
Disc Number : 2

 

I tried renaming the files so that they'd all be in the same folder and sorted by disc and track number (e.g., 1.01, 1.02, etc.), but that had no effect. So I tried making the track number in the MP3 tag follow the same format. Protip: don't do that. Entune lost it's mind and selecting songs would play other songs. So, it seems, that it's literally impossible in Entune to play tracks from a multidisc album in order.

 

Folder view is not an option I can find. I have ARTIST, ALBUM, SONG. That's it. The data used to compile those lists are taken from the track metadata.

 

My Entune doesn't have that option. I have Artists, Albums, and Songs on screen 1, and Genres and Composers on the next screen. There are no more options right or left. Maybe a difference between the plus and the other trims?

 

No problem. Thanks for the assist. I'm still in disbelief that the software developers never thought of people listening to songs on multi-disc albums in the order they are on the album. It's not even a "problem" to be solved, it's just sorting by album -> disc # -> track instead of album -> track.

The Pink Floyd example was bad enough, but I have a collection of Mozart symphonies that spans 10 CDs and I can only listen to them by playing 10 track 1's, then 10 track 2's, etc.

 

The plus trim doesn't support playlists

 

My manual specifically says playlists are not supported and the M3U files on my flash drive are ignored. There is also no option to select playlists, only artist, album, song, genre, and composer.

 

I select BROWSE and it goes back to the artist I'm listening to. Then I select the album I'm listening to. That brings up the song list. Clearly less dangerous than pressing a LIST button.
