What is the playing order ???

If I put 10 songs of an Artist and ask the SANSA to play by artist what is the playing order ???

Play by : Track number ?? Album Name ?? Song Title ?? File name ?? Directory name ??

Example:

Album Track Name (Of File)         Title (Of Track)

====  ==== ===========         ======

aaa    1       abg.mp3                  hdfh

ccc    5       dfr.mp3                   dfhfg

aaa    5       iuy.mp3                  dfh

bbb    2       hfh.mp3f                fdh

aaa    3       fhfg.mp3                dfhh

bbb    4       fhfhrt.mp3              fgfg

ccc    1       rhhr.mp3                 fhfgh

bbb    6       hrgd.mp3                hfghfg

ddd    3       lkhjl.mp3                asd

aaa    7       jhggh.mp3              hjgkj

Is It in this priority ???

==================

1 By Album Title.

2 By Track Number.

3 By Name (Of File). (In case of same Track Number…)

4 By Title (Of Track). (In case Of same…)

I beleive it plays the songs alphabetically by song title, but it, of course depends on the info in your ID3 tags and whether you have shuffle turned on or not.

Actually, song title is only used if the track number tag is not present.

Within an album, I believe the order is determined by the following priority:

  1. Track number tag
  2. If track number tag missing, title tag
  3. If title tag missing, file name
    When playing back multiple albums, I believe the albums are sorted alphabetically by album name, then by the above logic within each album.
