I'm really happy to see the new option for loading all songs from a given album, but I don't understand the order in which songs are loaded. I'd expect them to be in alphabetical order by title, but that's not what seems to happen.
For example, I have an album with 15 songs, in which the titles are all prefixed with their number -- in other words,
01 First Title
02 Title of Second Song
...
15 Fifteenth Song Title
The actual order in which they were loaded was 01, 02, 05, 06, 07, 09, 10, 13, 15, 04, 08, 11, 03, 12, 14
In case it makes any difference, this was immediately following a transfer to a new tablet, which I did as follows:
- take a full backup (including mp3 files) on the old tablet, and save it on the removable SD card
- move the SD card to the new tablet, and do a complete reload from the backup
This worked perfectly (apart from moving the actual library from the SD card to the default location, because the full reload doesn't seem to have an option for reloading to removable storage), and I suspect (but can no longer prove
) that the same ordering issue would have occurred on the old tablet also.
For reference, the original tablet was a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, and the new one is a Toshiba "Excite 13", purchased because I wanted the bigger screen (I wish it wasn't a 16:9 aspect ratio, but even with that the physical width in portrait mode is 6.5", compared to 5.5" for the 16:10 Note 10.1).
Anyhow, I don't know whether this ordering is expected behavior or a bug, but either way it would be nice to have an option to display the album titles in sorted order.
Thanks,
