I just updated to 4.7 and noticed the song order in the albums is alphabetical, instead of the correct album order #'s, as it used to be. How can I change it back to the original album order, not alphabetical? Thanks

Okay, I noticed an anomaly. Most all my song are in WAVE format. These song are automatically organized in the album alphabetically. I have a couple of albums which are in FLAC format. Those albums are organized correctly: the order the album is on the CD.
So, anyone know how to get my WAVE formatted songs to be organized correctly? And no, I am not going to convert my whole server to FLAC.

FLAC have tags which SS can read, wav files do not so SS has to revert back to an alphabetical sort.

I understand that, but this problem just started happening with the upgrade to 4.7. I have always had my music in WAVE format in which the songs were not listed alphabetically.

4.7 uses the tag data - 4.6 used the folder structure ( simplified explanation
)

Short answer: No. No way to revert without rolling back to version 4.6.

Bummer. I like 4.7 load time for browsing on phones, but the song order bugs me. I guess I could just switch the songs back to uncompressed FLAC.

Why not just compressed FLAC? It is loss-less... the only "cost" is CPU time to transcode them, which you are paying now anyway to transcode the WAV files to MP3...

If I remember right, certain web browsers gave me trouble with FLAC, that is why I switched a while ago. Maybe I will give it a try again.
