Mrgixxer6 Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Question... This thing screws up my music library on my SD card and on my iPhone. I have 9200 songs on my iPhone and a lot of the albums it alphabetizes the songs rather than keep them in order?!! Any idea how to fix that? Same with some on the SD card.. And it's different albums!?!? I just don't get it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 No way around it. It alphabetizes either by album or song. Select songs, not artists. Then touch "Play all" then the first song plays, touch shuffle. It will then randomly play all of your songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhh3 Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 I'm not talking about the songs on an individual album. You can search alphabetically for an album or a song. If you search songs, they all come up alphabetically; then you can select play all and shuffle them. Of couse, if you search for an album, the songs will be in the order they were recorded on the CD, etc. Sheese. jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrgixxer6 Posted July 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 But that is the problem. As I said in the OP some of the albums it messes with the order and alphabetizes them rather than keep them in order. . I was hoping someone knew how I can make it always put my albums in order. It really messes with a live album lol. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 (edited) OIC. Sorry for the cornfusion (Hoosier Humor!) I haven't noticed this. I don't even look at the order of the songs. I either play a group of CDs by the same Artist, and shuffle the songs, or just play all my songs shuffled. But, I do wish that there was a way to play a group of Artists; not just one at a time. Since you have your songs on an iPhone, I'm guessing that you are using iTunes. Uconnect only supports iOS up to 7.1. I went crazy trying to use iTunes on this frigging radio (I want my MyGig back!) (I wonder how many times I have said this now! LOL). I loaded all my songs from iTunes to an SD card, and had a mess. I purchased a 64GB iPhone5S and put all my music on it so I could use it as an iPod. No dice. Same thing. I found an iPod with 7.1 on it on eBay, and all the issues remained. Gave up on the 64GB iPhone, and am now back to 6s 32GB with no music. My Dell came with POS Windows 10. I reloaded all of my CDs back onto the computer using Windows Media Player, and copied this to an SD card. WMP goes out on the net and searches for Art, by default. This solved a lot of my Art display issues. This may be the reason that I have not noticed Songs being in alphabetical order on a CD (WMP vs iTunes in a Uconnect environment). Uconnect broke ties with Gracenote in 2011, so no Art will display on a CD that came out after 2011. Uconnect told me that Art must be a jpeg in order to display. In iTunes, I can scan a CD Cover, save it as a jpeg and use it for the Art, and it will display on the screen. I haven't been able to figure out how to do this with WMP, because it goes out on the net. I still have Art not displaying on some older CDs. When I get some time, I'll figure this out. I've only been working on this for 2 years now, so what's a little more time? I hope that the new radios with Apple Play will be compatible with our DJs.

Mrgixxer6 Posted July 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Thanks for the info man. I haven't even messed with it at all yet but it frustrates the hell out of me. I'm wondering if it's an ID3 tag version conflict or "conflict" lol dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
