Bug Description
In the playlist, there is no option to show filenames. This is annoying if, like me, your music collection is badly tagged (missing tags, unknown character sets being used).
Also, when adding a directory, the contents are sorted by tags rather than filename. This means that in an album of untagged songs the album gets added in a random order. I suggest using the filename as a secondary characteristic by which to sort the files. Also, an option to sort by filename or by tags would be useful if files have misleading tags.
To post a comment you must log in.
Regarding not sorting by filename, I created a small patch to sort files by filename if the track tags are identical.
(And I just realised that I've filed two bugs in one report. Apologies.)
