Hi, have my music on my pc. I stream it to my Sony TV and my Pure Internet radio. When I scroll on these devises the album content is in alphabetical order and not tract numerical. I asked Pure and they said it's the way your PC is sharing the information and not a Pure issue - which makes sense as the Sony TV is the same. Any advise would be welcome. Thanks.

There is no way for the device to know what the tack number is unless you name the track using the track number unless that track number is in the audio file data.

So if you want to show track # for an album you would name the songs in the album to 01_MySong 02_MyOtherSong 03_ReallyCoolSong 04_ANiceSong

Otherwise the sorting will be done by just the title so track 4 on the album will end up being track one due to it staring with "A".

The other way is to ensure the track metadata contains the track # http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ID3 but that is only if the device you are using reads that data and can sort by t.
