Windows Media Player Plus! - Various enhancements for WMP
Reply #11 –
... So for example, for a multidisc release of AwesomeAlbum, "AwesomeAlbum Disc 1" and "AwesomeAlbum Disc 2" will give you the proper ordering in the library. I know this because I've manually added multidisc albums to my library before.
Basically WMP takes its defaults from the AMG metadata lookup service it uses. If you use AMG's conventions for manually edited tracks as above, you'll be OK.
that was kind of discussed in the links i provided above. it really is a personal preference thing, and for conformity to the standards of multiple other players. the field is there, WMP sees it and can write it, but it does not use it to sort, so i was inquiring if it would be possible to tell WMP to use it. i don't want to seperate the album into different discs. i want to go into MC and chose play album once and have it play the whole album in the right order. i have a twelve disc collection of bethoven sonatas and would have to add each one when really it is a full release. the workaround i used for now was to set the tracknumbers to 101-110, 201-210, etc... this just messes up support in other players somewhat.
I hear you. Yeah, cross-player/platform compatibility is still a real mess.
