Bugzilla – Bug 306
Multi-disc albums appear to be shuffled, not playing in order
Last modified: 2008-12-18 11:50:43 UTC
I'm using two id3v2.4 tags, TPOS (part of set) and then leaving track numbers consistent. So I have a four disc set up like the following. TPOS 1/4 TRCK 1 Track One, Disc One TPOS 1/4 TRCK 2 Track Two, Disc Two TPOS 2/4 TRCK 1 Track One, Disc Two ... TPOS 3/4 TRCK 1 Track One, Disc Three ... The album shows up correctly in the browse by albums, but when I play it the tracks appear to be completely randomly sorted. This doesn't happen with single-disc albums which are sorted properly. All of the information in the track information is consistent with the above values, so slimserver is properly extracting the info I believe. You can get 5 sample tracks from three of the four discs here: http://dartboard.dyndns.org/slimdevices/ I used taged to add the id3v2.4 tags.
A bit of additional info: This appears to only occur with mult-disc albums that are *various* artists. My multi-disc sets that are a single artist seem to work fine.
