Loading Mutiple Files in WinAMP 5

MusicWorld · 30th October 2003, 09:12

In Preferences under Playlist you can sort files by name when loading mutiple files.What would be nice is if you could sort files by path or by path and name like you can in the Playlist Editor.

Reason I am saying this is because a Program I use you can right Click on a Album and select Play.But when you do this the Songs are not in order.You have to go to Playlist Editor and sort by path and name like I described above.

I know.....I am just being Lazy.Would just be easier with that option.

Keep up the good work.....love the Modern Skin.

Have a look at title formating, for me the greatest new feature in WA5.

It's in the options screen under the Titles tab. Try:-

[%artist% - ][$upper($abbr(%album%,1))][ $num(%tracknumber%,2)] / %title%[ %streamtitle%]

Which gets your MP3's in this style/order with a 'sort by title':-

Travis - TMW 01 / Writing to Reach You
Travis - TMW 02 / The Fear

etc. (TMW is 'The Man Who' abbreviated)

I hope this helps.
