Playing order of album with multiple discs (in random playin

Post by genesys87 »

I have may album splitted in various cds, so I tag them all with the same album name, but different disc number; Guayadeque correctly sort by disc number first and next track number the songs of these albums in the library browser.
If I play one of these albums from the album box of the library browser (either by double clicking on the name of the album or by right click->play) of from the album browser, the playing order follow the order of the library browser (ie: disc number + track number); if the album is picked randomly, the playing order follow track number only, while it should follow that of the library browser.

Can you explain what is exactly what you call picked randomly?

Thanks for your help

In the preferences I have checked the options "Reproduces a random album when the playlist is empty", "Delete automatically reproduced tracks from the playlist"; smartmode is off.
When the album is random chosen by guayadeque following the preferences stated above, the playing order is different from when I choose the album from the library browser (or album browser).

I think it makes sense that the album added as its a single album should follow the natural order by song number only.

Now I realised it may makes sense to follow library order in case you have mixed albums in one folder or you have multiple cds as one album.

I will include this change in next svn commit.
