Formatting problem when adding album from Library Into Playlist in 2.9

ziggysdust · 15th April 2003, 01:30

When I play a m3u playlist from "Playlists" in the Library the formatting in the Playlist window is exactly how I set it up (%1 - %4 - %3 - %a - %2) which is Artist - Year - Album - Track# - Title. The problem I'm having is that I much prefer to use the Artist/Album View in the Library for many reasons. But when I play an album through this View the formatting in the Playlist window defaults back to Artist - Title. When each song is played however it changes back to the formatting that I specified for that individual song. So... my question is "how to keep the formatting specified in the MPEG audio decoder settings -> Title screen when adding a album directly from a View in the Library."

-Thanx,

Ziggy

Not sure, but at a guess . . .
Prefs -> Options:
Checkmark: read titles on -> load

If that doesn't work, then I guess that the feature you want is yet to be implemented.

Yeah, I should have mentioned that I have it set to Read & Sort Files on Load so that's not the problem. I guess I might just have to wait for a newer version to come out...sigh
