Hello, I love the Kompakt, it is hands down the best phone I’ve ever owned. I also use it every day as an MP3-player and in that aspect there are a few small things I would like to see improved upon. I would love for it to play songs in a folder according to track number of the mp3-file, instead of alphabetical order (especially when I listen to albums that have songs that intertwine, like a Pink Floyd album for instance, it is a bummer that it doesn’t follow the correct order). I would also like to see a play-queue or at least a “play next” option. Other than that I love the music player.
Hey there, I made a similar post a few months ago: Music player song order
It is one of my few gripes with the phone as well, as I only listen to music by album. That said, someone kindly recommended Foobar2000 to me. If you know how to sideload apps, it is definitely the best option I have found so far in the meantime as it is a fully featured music player. It is not completely adapted for e-ink but it is decent as temporary solution. Of course I am also eagerly waiting for this feature to be added to the standard player.
Glad to hear someone else is also using it as a music player. I have not sideloaded any apps yet and have generally not felt the need to, but this might be a reason to look into that. I will check out Foobar2000. Let’s cross our fingers in hope of a better intergrated music player in the future ![]()
I agree. The behavior I expect is similar:
All Songs should order tracks alphabetically according to the song/track title (ID3 frame TIT2).
Files should show just that: file names. The first track I should see in file view is “01 - ZYX.mp3” (TIT2=ZYX), regardless of its track name.
The behavior I experience:
Files lists files by their song/track title value TIT2. When I navigate to the directory containing my favorite album, the first song listed points to the file name “06 - ABCD.mp3” (TIT2=ABCD). Alternatively, it could order tracks according to the ID3 frame TRCK=n or TRCK=n/N, but this would also contradict the user’s reasonable expectation to see Filenames in the Files view–especially if this information is incorrect or missing.
Music player improvements are coming
They are on our roadmap for this year ![]()
Awesome, looking forward to the improvements! ![]()
