How do I sort by album like in WMP ?

blackeangle · 12th May 2005, 02:39

I find it annoying that i can't sort the music in the order as they are in the album, and the Track# in each file doesn't help to sort in Winamp. Please help.

The "Sort list by title,file names or path and file names" in Misc doesn't help either.

Prefs (Ctrl+P) > Titles > Advanced Title Formatting >
[%artist% - ][%album% - ][%tracknumber% - ]$if2(%title%,$filepart(%filename%))

If you use that, you can sort on 'title' and it will sort on album:
Playlist editor: click 'Misc' button > Sort (List) > Sort list by title

There's another way to sort your playlist as well, using ActiveWinamp (discussion). Included are scripts to sort by last played date, rating, playcount and track. You can write extra scripts to create other sorting methods.

If your an album listener (like myself), I'd recommend album list

It's the most useful thing I know of that no other media player has.

If you're bored go here or, if the boredom is more serious, here.
