Does your server alphabetize the songs, or play them in order of the orginal cd?


I have a ripped library, ripped using EAC (Exact Audio Copy); I had the same problem when ripped via JRiver. Each song in the folder is numbered, for playing in order they are on the CD - important, but extremely so when listening to concept cd's (Pink Floyd's Final Cut) or Musicals, etc. They appear in the correct order on my laptop, where they reside, but when I play them through my Oppo (connected wirelessly) the songs are listed and play in alphabetical order. Do other streamers have this problem. I only want to upgrade (I am thinking Bryston's BDP-2) if this is not an endemic problem.
What is your streamer? Do you have this problem?

Sorry OP
Only just checked in again
Ok in better English this time round!
I have ripped my entire CD collection to a Bluesound vault2. On the cheaper side of music servers but has been more than adequate for my needs.
Every song is played in the order it is ripped from the original CD. So no it does not rearrange songs into alphabetical order.

I agree crucial Floyd albums and concept albums would be nonsense if this occurred.

So for sure not every music server rearrange the songs into alphabetical order.

Hope that is a bit clearer.
No not all servers do that.

My Bluesound vault2 where I ripped all my cds too certainly does not.
