Shuffle by album error
Last modified: 2011-03-16 04:18:42 UTC
Although "Shuffle by Album" works, there is a major flaw in that it does not always play back the songs in numerical order within an album. Some do, some do not. I am unable to figure out the orgainizing principl which Slimserver uses to interpret iTunes album info, but following the numerical order of tracks would seem best, esap for classical music, since the order of ther movements is essential. Thanks, Mark
Mark: Can you give an example of the behavior you are seeing? Also, it sounds like you are using iTunes, is that right?
Actually, the problem was fixed when I rebuilt the iTunes library. However, there is still a feature I have asked for some time ago and would still like to see: the ability to skip an album. As it is now, you can shuffle by song or by album (assuming you are using playlists from iTunes). You can easily skip songs by pressing SKIP, but you cannot skip albums. Is it possible to include a "Skip Album" on the slimserver software? Many thanks for a great product. Mark
The ability to skip an album is filed as bug 460 and is still on active record as a future enhancement. Since this specific error is solved, marking as fixed.
ok. Thanks.
