Topic: MP3 Jukebox track sorting?

[Holger Erlands-Petersen]

Hi,

Does anyone have a clue to how to change the sorting of song titles
displayed in the web browser?

As it is now, the songs are sorted alphabetically by name. I would like
to have them sorted by track number.

have you tried renaming the songs and having them in the format..

01-somename.mp3
02-songname.mp3

etc

Yes, I use this naming convention:

01 - Aerosmith - Walk On Water.mp3

But still the songs show up in the browser sorted by the MP3 'Track Title' Tag.

Look in http.conf, there are parameters you can set for the Apache::MP3 package that allow you to set what the sort fields are, and also what fields are displayed.

Make a custom template from a copy of /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf  and edit it so it outputs the flags you want.  See the docs in /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/Apache/MP3/Sorted.pm for the details of what parameters and values are available.

Hi Robin,

OK - I think I have figured it out know.

I've created a new custom-template and changed the SortField
parameter. I then expanded this template and everything seems to work
fine (after a reboot).

Thank You for pointing me in the right direction!
