Help, please, with tracks from ripped CDs appearing out of order.
I have a NAS Music folder, which makes up the library for my iTunes (accessible via Sonos). I added the same NAS Music folder to my Bryston BDP-2. It's a big folder and took a while to load, but all went well. However, curious things happened today as I ripped a batch of CDs into this folder. I'm using dBpoweramp to rip the CDs.
When I ripped the discs to AIFF, the albums and tracks populated into iTunes/Sonos just fine, with all tracks in an album appearing in order. But after updating the folder via the BDP-2 dashboard, when I access the same album via Manic Moose media player, the tracks are out of order. The beginnings of the track names vary in their numbering: for example, some of the track names begin with numbers like "01, 02, 03," while others begin "5/10, 7/10," etc.
As an experiment, I tried ripping the same CDs into Apple Lossles format instead of AIFF -- and then, in both iTunes/Sonos and Manic Moose, within each album, the tracks appear in order.
I don't want to turn this into a discussion of the relative merits of AIFF or whether one can hear the difference between AIFF and ALAC. I'd just like to have the option to use AIFF, but not if album tracks won't line up in order. Do you know if this is this a Manic Moose problem or a dBpoweramp metadata problem? I checked the metadata before ripping and everything seemed to make sense. The CDs I've ripped today are not too obscure -- some ECM jazz discs by Manu Katche and Paul Motian.
Thanks in advance for your help.
