I have 473829 'albums' on my phone because i play 'albums' all the time

bought 2 'albums' this week

Just noticed that my android 2.2 can't play albums in order????????

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!

It doesn't even acknowledge 'tracks' or 'track order' - so it just plays the track in alphabetical order!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whats all that about?????

Some moron has sat down and spent maybe a month designing a media player - played an album in ALPHABETICAL ORDER and thought - great that it!

I cant beleive it

Last phone I had, that did this was LG i bought in 1980 sumink and even that was updated/corrected within few months

I'm gob smacked that you can buy a phone in 2012 that does not know how to play an album

I supose as well as the morons that designed it, most kids today dont know what an album is so wouldn't know any better

but it like watching a movie with all the scenes payed in alphabetical order instead of the proper order

I wondered why people pay £500 for iphone and starting to see why

Its a mistake only a total moron could make - prolly the same guy that decided to make sure you are wide awake to operate the 'snooze' function

I mean - the designer must have had 100000000's of opportunities to put it right and totally failed to even notice this blunder - which doesn't look good for the future but i have to ask

Can Android v4.0 play albums???

Music is a deal breaker for me so it might have to be iphone for me

Download a different music player such as Poweramp

Had a number of android phones and they all players albums in order. I'd wager it could be a problem with your MP3 tagging maybe ????

Check the MP3 tags the order is typically based on information associated with the files. Are these ripped files or purchased MP3?

FYI - The first thing an audio player looks for is the track number which it sounds like its not present, therefore its just falling back on alphabetical ordering.

Yup, the tracks are not correctly tagged with their respective Track Numbers.

Did you buy them on iTunes by any chance? It doesn't respect proper ID3 tags

You can get software to batch-correct the ID3 tags (MediaMonkey springs to mind), or try a different player

Nope - tagged by Win Media player - no problem

Edit: when i looked at the info for a track on my mobile there is no track number - not sure whether the app doesn't recognise it or it not there at all so ill check that out

I would check with another program if the tags have been correctly applied.

This is an outrage!!! What is going on!!! What morons!!! It's 2012!!! I had a phone in 1967 that plays albums properly!!!! Android is a piece of shit man!!!!! iPhone FTW!!!!

(Oh, hold on, maybe my music isn't tagged properly and it's actually my fault, not the "moron" designer's...)

For what it's worth, the default Google Music player on my Android 4.1 device plays my correctly-tagged MP3s in the correct, track-listing order, and I believe all of my Android devices (even the one I had with Android 1.6!!) have done the same.

Incidentally, I can't really tell from the rest of your hyperbole-laden rant, so I need to ask: have you made this number up for irony or do you genuinely think you have nearly 500,000 albums on your phone?

Because, let's say an average of 10 songs per album and 4MB per song, you apparently have a phone with 18TB of storage! Even at just one song per album, you're looking at almost 2TB.

This would take about 40 years of continuous listening, 24 hours a day. I doubt your phone will last that long. And quite likely you will not live long enough to hear them all if you reduce to 'only' 8 hours a day of listening.

Not much point buying any more albums!

Installed Winamp

Perfic!!!!!

Lists all my albums with Track Numbers and plays in the correct order

Better looking than the stock media player too - which did turn out to be a piece of junk written by a moron & couldn't play album tracks in order - ha ha ha

You seem a bit upset by my post - suggest you ignore me in future and i'll return the favour

PLONK!!!

No, it just couldn't play badly tagged tracks.

On a side note i can thoroughly recommend N7 player for android. very pretty, and unique, interface.

What phone was it by the way. A phone running froyo in 2012 is a bargain basement special.

£4m worth of music. hmmm

The Orange San Francisco maybe? Mine came with 2.2 until I installed CM7.

Where do you get badly tagged tracks from?????????

All my tracks are perfectly tagged ID3 and I have been playing them on the same micro SD card on 4 different phones without issue

Where do you get badly tagged tracks from?????????
Where do you get badly tagged tracks from?????????
Where do you get badly tagged tracks from?????????

Actually - rhetorical question - you didn't - you just guessed - and guessed wrong - just read the thread & eat humble pie

Very happy with Winamp but I will bear that in mind cheers

If your tags were properly tagged, their track numbers would have appeared in the default music player. They didn't. The fault is with your tags, not the player which works for everyone else.

And since you claim to have almost half a million albums, I'll take what you say with a pinch of salt.
