lukew1985 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Depends on how ocd you are with folders 馃槉 I have genre folders first then the albums individually within those聽 I do have one folder with just odd songs in too.聽 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoney871 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Follow my mp3tag guide.Remove track titles to ensure albums play in order rather than alphabetically and apply album art to tidy things up.Top tip- turn off gracenote as it just muddles everything up again.Sent from my SM-G930F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_Andy_M Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 One piece of advice to add from a macOS user... Make sure you delete off the hidden .filename.mp3 (full stop on the front) files if you do it from a Mac because it will confuse the head unit. My Sync 2 system has kittens if I don't do it.

Stoney871 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I know some people don't mind music playing in alphabetical order but I often listen to albums that need to be in track order (like Pink Floyds -The Wall), so removing the track name forces the system to play in track number order.I also used to find that my system would constantly try to re-index my music, removing track names appeared to stop that.Now it only re-indexes if I add files or remove / re-insert my memory stick.Sent from my SM-G930F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L22EEW Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I'm a bit anal when it comes to my MP3's on the Sync. 聽I don't have any albums, just podcasts, which i've split down to 5 minute tracks. Then again if I did have albums, the tracks would have to be in order of the album. 聽Trance music for example, they tend to blend the tracks together. 聽So imagine listening the them alphabetically ... would sound like a jumbled up mess聽 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 My point exactly.Albums are in track order so should be played the same way.If I want them shuffled I'll press the shuffle button myself [emoji41]Sent from my SM-G930F 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
