Agreed as to making changes for only 1 player.
But it’s fairly standard to have music file names (not tags) include the track no. (e.g. 01-I Wanna Hold Your Hand), so as to have ordered play when playing files via folder (not tag) navigation.
It is definitely not standard for me as all my FLAC files are stored on a shared NAS in a single folder, and they are accessed by a dozen different players. Then it makes sense to build the file name with (in order) : artist name, disc name, track number, song name.
Example:
- Green Day - American ■■■■■ - 01 - American Dev ■■■■■
- Green Day - American ■■■■■ - 02 - Jesus of Suburbia
- Green Day - American ■■■■■ - 03 - Holiday
- Green Day - American ■■■■■ - 04 - Player of Broken Dreams
- et caetera …
Simple and efficient. By the way I encoded myself all the files from the CD I bought, and I do not intend to create hundred of useless folders, and to rename thousands of files … because of a flaw in the design of this player.
