Adding media folders in 2.80 beta series
Posted: 2016-05-20, 12:42 UTC
Absolutely love Total Commander, was excited when I found out it existed on Android!
I just have one big frustration, though. Starting in 2.80b1 with the addition of the "Show ID3 tags if available" option, TC now uses tags to order media files when added more than one at a time (e.g., "Play (background)" or "Add to queue" for folders). The previous behavior ordered based on filenames.
I have a lot of mp3 album folders that have files like:
101 First.mp3 (with ID3 tags of track 1, sometimes disc tag 1)
102 Second.mp3
103 Third.mp3
201 Fourth.mp3 (also with ID3 tag of track 1)
202 Fifth.mp3
Previously, they would be populated in the correct order. Now the order is First, Fourth, Second, Fifth, Third, so I am basically reduced to adding folders by adding each file manually.
What I would prefer is an option, separate from the "Show ID3 tags" option, to add media files based on filename instead of ID3 tags. With all the music I have, it is infeasible and undesirable to retag them all or manually create playlists.
Thanks for your consideration.
