Sorting Multi-CD Albums

[Alepsis]

I need a UPnP server for my FLAC library (~2TB). I've been evaluation Twonky and JRiver, and now I'm looking at Asset. Going by its description, it should be the server for me, but it doesn't seem like that in practice.

For instance. The opera "Ariadne" by JG Conradi is saved in 1 folder, as individual tracks. Files are named "1 01 Overture.flac", "1 02 Grimmes Glueck.flac", "1 03 Wie so allein.flac", etc. The tags are:

DISCNUMBER=1
TRACKNUMBER=01
TITLE=Overture
COMPOSER=Johann Georg Conradi
ALBUM=Ariadne
ARTIST=Boston Early Music Festival Orchestra & Chorus
DISCTOTAL=3
ENCODER=xACT v1.56/FLAC v1.1.1
DATE=2005
GENRE=Classical

DISCNUMBER=1
TRACKNUMBER=02
TITLE=Grimmes Glück (Ariadne)
COMPOSER=Johann Georg Conradi
ALBUM=Ariadne
ARTIST=Boston Early Music Festival Orchestra & Chorus
DISCTOTAL=3
ENCODER=xACT v1.56/FLAC v1.1.1
DATE=2005
GENRE=Classical

and so on.

If I connect to Assett UPnP with a player, go to Composer > J > Johann Georg Conradi, I get

[All Tracks]
Ariadne, Disc 1
Ariadne, Disc 2
Ariadne, Disc 3

If I go to [All Tracks], the tracks are sorted -- incredibly! -- alphabetically by title.

If I go to Ariadne, Disc 1, it plays CD 1, and then stops. But the whole point of naming and tagging the tracks as they are is to play all 3 CDs without interruption.

Is there any way of getting Asset UPnP to do the right thing?

Thanks.

Have

Multi-Disc Albums show as '[Disc] [Track] [Title]' selected over

Multi-Disc Albums show as 'Album, Disc x'

This then lists all tracks from Disc 1, then all tracks from Disc 2, all tracks from Disc 3 etc., so you can play all tracks from multiple discs in order.

Thanks for your reply, but it doesn't work. I still get

[All Tracks]
Ariadne, Disc 1
Ariadne, Disc 2
Ariadne, Disc 3

With [All Tracks] sorted alphabetically (the mind boggles!) and separate folders for each disc. The only difference now is that Asset prepends the disc number (but not the track number) to the track title display.

Re: Sorting Multi-CD Albums

Your tracks must have Disc 1/3 2/3 and 3/3. You can browse with Advanced Search >> File and Folder browsing and browse to the folder, all the tracks in that folder will be displayed in filename order.

Thanks for your reply. I'm sorry, I don't follow you.

Yes, that does work.

UPDATE: After doing a 'Refresh All' (I assume this re-builds the database from scratch), the album is now sorted correctly. (But the track number is still not prepended to the the track title; only the disc number is.)
