this might work, but this view gives me all tracks with no order, except in album title format. all tracks in that album title are not in order. when i select the track # tab to put the tracks in order it puts ALL tracks by that artist in order regardless of their album title. so that is my problem. i am forced to select each track individually in that album title to put them in the correct order. this is taking entirely too long. any other ideas...?? umm.. ya... as i stated.. i have literally 1000+ tracks to do this with... nice idea.... but do you want to supply the media...?? or the time...??
