Tag Editing and Track Numbers
This problem has been around for awhile, but I really noticed today as I was editing my tags from within eJ:
In many artists, some of the track numbers will not show up, but they're there when editing. Although it happens with most numbers, 95% of the
time it's track 2. I can change the track number to something else, and it will still not show up after saving the edit.
The tricky thing is, track 2 is not always omitted, or uneditable. In many of my files it's there and just fine.
Anyone?
Thanks,
Rich

Oh oh... I don't know if it's the same case, but when you have an artist with several albums, if on some albums you don't have the
track #1 (that can occur often if you get back your songs on the net...), then the track # in the songlist which is at the first line instead of the
track #1, is never displayed. If it's an artist with only one album, it's normal since the place is occuped by the artist name, but if you
have several albums of the same artist and none track #1 on the first line then that occur for the second and following albums, systematically! No
matter which track # it is...
By way of example:
Add 2 albums of the same artist to eJ and look at the newest song list where the songs order is reversed. What occur?
The track # which is on the first line - in this case it's the last track added - for the second or any other following album of that artist is
never displayed...
It's not a big thing... but it's an antique bug!
I haved already tried to explan that several times... a long time ago, when Audiosoft had chosen to display the track # in the artist column... but
without never any success... Infuriating, for a perfectionist like me!

Thanks for the suggestion Pirk, but that's not it. In my case some track numbers don't actually show up no matter what their physical
position is on the screen. I'm guessing that it's a tag version issue, and when I'm done replacing special characters in the tags of
all my songs, I'll look into this one a little more and report back.

I have isolated the issue, and it's not tag-related.
Two observations:
1. A track number is *never* visible if there is just 1 song in an album.
2. If the first track in an album is not "1" then the next available track number is never visible, be it a 2, 6, 9, whatever.
Take a look at this *large* screen shot as an example.
Thanks,
Rich

Yes absolutely Rich, this is exactly what I try to explain to you - and to Audiosoft - in my previous post...
Thanks.

Pirk,
You are 100% correct. Now that I re-read your post with a greater understanding of the problem, I see that you *did* explain it very well. Sorry for
posting in contradiction to your explanation.
Thanks,
Rich

OK, thanks.
You know, it's not easy to me to be clear in my explanations with my bad french-english...

I just noticed that I have this problem as well. Any time table on a fix for this annoying bug, Audiosoft?
Thanks & keep up the great work!
