I do not have any Dos-Boxes - moved around too often to have any lying around.

For what its worth I recall having the same Library button track sort symptom/workaround.
Without trying to rub salt in, Foobar (which I used before moving to XX) keeps alphabetic ordering on tracks when selecting an album directory.

More Images...
1st is using Library Button on same ethernet drive(presumably a Windows function).
2nd is with CDs in the music root (though I have other directories at same level starting CD... i.e. CDs Breton where the genre is very different)
3rd is with a CDs directory in C: (set as music root) - this is sorted
4th is Playlist from there - this too is sorted

The ethernet drive is a 2TB Lacie BigDisk

My mother always said I was unkempt and unsorted...

Thanks Peter, attached is an image of the library tab, and another of the Playlist tab.
The library tab is from a blank search, and the playlist tab is from the Load button.

Does this clarify the issue?

Best regards

Hi Peter,

XP SP2

I have had problems previously with loading using the Library button: the Ordering in the Playlist, but found a workaround (i.e. select last track, shift click first track maintains alphabetic ordering loading into playlist.) This workaround still functions.

With 0.9l, in the library tab, I do not get alphabetic ordering.
Loading into the playlist using the Load button, I get ordering of tracks: 09, 10, 11, 12, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08

I would include some screenshots but IrfanView capture gives me a nice shot of what is underneath XX? What screenshot capture software works on XX?

Best regards
Steve

Hi Peter,

This worked nicely on 0.7f

Best regards
Steve

Hmmmmm..

Yes it works now......

Thats the 4th non problem today. It must be Thursday.

Sorry for wasting your precious time.

Hi Peter,

I use foo_output_asio(dll).dll in FUUBAR.

But I have no idea what driver XX is using? Presumeably, the default RME one??

Best regards
Steve

 

Without wishing to confuse the issue...
My Engine2 dont make music either... XP SP2, RME digi 96/8, DDDAC1543, blah blah
But I am soooo happy with 5minutes from Engine1 before she goes belly up too.

I can just about A/B Foobar/XX, and yes, I can clearly hear the difference. The removal of the slight Foobar Grunge brings out the finer detail and a more natural sound. I'm using engine1, I just avoid dicking with the player whilst its playing.

Hi Peter,

Yes it is very nice to hear the excellent sound.

I am not a diehard - I listen to headphones whilst working (programmer).

My loudspeaker system has been dismantled for some years as there was no room in my previous home. I am looking to rebuild when the daylight shortens.

>>Once you'd know that a lot of the cleanness comes from the elimination of standing waves in the room, one might wonder what happens without a room (or is it a very small room there in that caps ?)
I dont understand how XX player can reduce standing waves without Bose-ing the sound - which is the opposite of bit perfect?
Please explain.

>> Steve, I don't know whether you are a die-hard headphone user, but if so, would you say you could get real satisfaction by the improvement you obtain ?
This sounds like it could be an expensive question... but yes. [... and I was not unhappy with Foobar, just XX removes a few more veils so the sound becomes more intimate]

Steve.

Thanks Peter!

The music is much cleaner and clearer. Best 5minutes!
