[slim] Track order w/ multiple file types
Hello, I'm having some trouble and hoping somebody here knows what I can do to resolve it. I was unable to find a similar post using the Search function on this forum. Currently using Slimserver 7.3.2. I have ripped several of my CDs in WMA 192 Kbps format but they were old CDs and so some of the tracks had blips in them. So, I went out to Amazon and purchased the MP3 and downloaded it. After rescanning for new music I now see when browsing the album via Internet Explorer that the order of tracks is incorrect, and if I press play on the album they are played out of sequence. The order is currently track 1, 3-7, and then 2 at the end - 1 and 3-7 being my WMAs and 2 being the downloaded MP3 from Amazon. I noticed using MP3TAG that the MP3 had the Track as 2-7 instead of just 2, so I edited that, cleared library and rescanned - but things still appear out of order. I think it is probably related to the multiple file types (both WMA and MP3 in the same album/folder). I'd really like to get this track in it's proper place because this is one of those albums that really needs to be played in the right order...

Not all of us still live with our parents, guys =P No way I could have known he would rip in a format different from what I recommended (I said WMA 192 Kbps, he went WMA Pro after he somehow decided to download windows media player beta and said to himself hey Pro must be better, it's Pro!). Besides, I'm out there spreading the Squeezebox word and getting more units sold which in turn benefits us all! I should get some kind of medal! As for the Math, I agree sounds strange. Saw it with my own eyes though, ~620 albums according to Slimserver and he said he started yesterday afternoon or evening. It is possible I got confused about when he started since we were playing cards and drinking tonight. I do know he got the Squeezebox earlier this week though so has only had it a few days.

That's probably it...he has a ton of compilation albums/movie soundtracks, etc. He has 6.3 software installed (I stayed back on 6.2.2 after seeing bug reports about 6.3 in this forum). OK so that probably explains why so many albums according to Slimserver. Now to figure out when/if WMA Pro will be supportedsounds like the Slim Devices guys are off for a few more days, so I'll probably have to wait. Knowing him if he didn't hear from me by this morning then he has probably already deleted everything and started re-ripping in a supported format.

[slim] WMA Pro + Squeezebox question
Hello all, I recently sold my father-in-law on the idea of a Squeezebox so he went out and got one of his own. Last night and today he ripped 600+ CDs in the WMA PRO format which is apparently a new format with the Beta version of Windows Media Player 11. Anyway after spending a while debugging it I finally realised that WMA PRO audio files won't play on Squeezebox. WMA 192 KBPS works fine, WMA Lossless works fine, but everything he ripped in WMA PRO won't play. So my question is, when will Squeezebox support WMA PRO, approximately? Will it only be a matter of days/weeks or will it be months/many,many months so that he should re-rip his collection (remember he did about 600 CDs like this!) I'll be advising him what to do based on your feedback, which will be much appreciated.
