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?

With my Cambridge Audio CXU HD the songs are played in alphabetical  order as a default when playing "all music".  

If I want "random" playback or "shuffle" I can press the blue button on the remote.

Albums are streamed in the order they were ripped, when one is chosen from the menu.
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.
I suggest you contact Oppo Customer Support and ask them.  Their contact link is below.

I have checked with OPPO and I haven't heard back yet. I am going to be buying a stand-alone Server,though, and use my OPPO as a CD/DVD/Blu-Ray transport. I still need to know if others have this issue with their music servers and what, if any, the solution is.

There is a very small tab on the screen that implements random playing.  I do not know your exact problem and suggest you review your settings.
The GUI doesn't have any settings button. My exact problem is that the music, as read and played through the Oppo, is alphabetized instead of playing in the order that the songs are on the CD - there is no way that I can find to defeat this alphabetization that the Oppo unit is apparently doing. I am seeking input as to whether this is a problem that other people are having with their Servers.
My Bluesound vault2 where I ripped all my cds too certainly does not.
Does not alphabetize them, or does not play them in order that they are on the CD?
No not all servers do that.

My Bluesound vault2 where I ripped all my cds too certainly does not.
 
I replaced my Bryston BDP-1 with an Aurender N100H and love it.  IMHO the Aurender ‘s Maestro Conductor app is far superior to Bryston’s Manic Moose.
Before you purchase the Bryston, please at least look at the Aurender.  
I had a similar problem on my Aurender music server. The albums were played in random order and not sequential.  I discovered it was my error.
