Here is the screenshot of the extended tags:
OK, so there are some fields.
Just a footnote: BAND is a user-defined field and should be ALBUMARTIST. TYER is also a user-defined field that looks like the ID3 token TYER which MP3tag maps to YEAR but it should appear as YEAR in MP3tag.
You would now have to find out what the player uses as preferred order:
The filename?
The title (alphabetically)
Track number (ascending)
Or does it group ALBUM by ALBUMARTIST by TRACK?
It is always best to have the same number of fields filled with data. If you have some files that have data only in TITLE and ARTIST, then some players take these files as coming from the album "unknown" by the artist "unknown" - even though they do not belong together.
Now try it without the numbers in your TITLE, like
Kapetan
Kraljevo
Setnja
...
Ustaj
Kralja
or you can try it with
01. Kapeta
02. Kraljevo
03. Setnja
...
11. Ustaj
12. Kralja
yes, did that with the number 01, 02... and it plays in the same incorrect order as above on the USB on the AEG
essentially its 10, 11 & 12 need to be at the end.
What is the result if you write your TITLE without numbers but save the TRACK number for every song instead?
For example:
TITLE: Ustaj
TRACK: 11
TITLE: Kralja
TRACK: 12
along the same line:
could you take care that the data in TRACK has always 2 digits: 01 ... 12 and not just 1 .. 12?
let me try... with the track under the #?
tried with the track number as 2 digits, that played the same. will take the number out of the title.
Hi.... have made all the Track numbers 2 digits - order was the same.
Have changed the Filename to 2 digits also. this has changed the order to:
4 Ersko
5 Moravac
6 Laznicko
7 Pajdusko
8 Pembe
9 Vrti
10 Bucemis
11 Ustaj
12 Kralja
1 Kapetan
2 Kraljevo
3 Setnja
In your second answer in this topic you wrote:
You could have a look at those tracks (appearing in correct order) how they where filled.
I tend to use the same tracks and place in a different folder for each show, and use MP3Tag to sort the track order. It seems once there is one tag, and a track number associated with it (or something) its then not allowing me to 'fix' a running order.
It uisually works out, this time I have been trying this since 9am this morning and 4 hrs later its still the same.
Its interesting the 2nd set of dances 7-10 are always together. and the others seem to be floating around.
A last attempt could be that the player really does not care about any tags for filenames but takes the order in which the files are written to the USB stick.
for that:
In the explorer navigate to the folder with files.
Right-click on the folder
Select "Open command shell here"
In the then opened command shell window type in
dir
and press Enter
check in which order the files appear: is that the same as the player shows them?
Thank you. I don't have 'Open Command Shell Here' when i right click on the folder?
I have it here in the right-click menu of the WIndows Explorer>Further Options (W11)
The but last one, reading "Eingabeaufforderung"
This is what an Internet search reveals:
How do I open the Command Prompt here in Windows Explorer?
To open a Command Prompt window to any folder, Shift+right-click the folder in File Explorer and then choose "Open command window here."
If that does not help you please search for yourself - as this is no real MP3tag issue.
that looks like the powershell and not like the comand shell.
(just type CMD at the above > _ prompt and press Enter to get the command window)
