Hungerdunger Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 When I drag an album of MP3 tracks from Explorer into the SonicStage Library they appear there in a completely different and apparently random order.If I understand things correctly, I have a choice of creating a playlist for the new tracks and sorting by Track Number, or transferring the files in their new random order to the MD and then re-sorting them manually.I'm just curious to know if there is a reason why this happens. Is there actually some pattern there that I'm too stupid to notice? Is there any other way to work around the problem?(Apologies if this has come up before) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_caudy Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 I think you can drag them to the order you want once they're in the library in SonicStage, there's no need to create a particular order playlist. Also using the CD tracknumber field will force an order on transfer to any of your ATRAC devices. Experiment, nothing's permanent (except DRM, grrr)regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hungerdunger Posted August 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 OK, suppose I've got the mp3 files of six albums, complete with their CD track numbers, in My Library. The track numbers for each album are completely jumbled (as I described above). If I try to sort by track number I'll get all the first tracks from each album at the top followed by all the No2 tracks etc. I can't drag individual tracks up or down in MY Library.It's not the end of the world, but I DO find it annoying, and as I said above I'm mainly curious as to why SonicStage doesn't list the tracks in any discernible order.

raintheory Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 you can add a "file path" column and sort by that... it should solve the problem just right-click on the columns to add one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you very much. I wish I'd asked the question three or four years ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raintheory Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Oh you wouldn't believe how long it took me to figure that one out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
