Can Android v4.0 play albums??? 2.2 can't

JethroUK

I have 473829 'albums' on my phone because i play 'albums' all the time

bought 2 'albums' this week

Just noticed that my android 2.2 can't play albums in order????????

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!

It doesn't even acknowledge 'tracks' or 'track order' - so it just plays the track in alphabetical order!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whats all that about?????

Some moron has sat down and spent maybe a month designing a media player - played an album in ALPHABETICAL ORDER and thought - great that it!

I cant beleive it

Last phone I had, that did this was LG i bought in 1980 sumink and even that was updated/corrected within few months

I'm gob smacked that you can buy a phone in 2012 that does not know how to play an album

I supose as well as the morons that designed it, most kids today dont know what an album is so wouldn't know any better

but it like watching a movie with all the scenes payed in alphabetical order instead of the proper order

I wondered why people pay £500 for iphone and starting to see why

Its a mistake only a total moron could make - prolly the same guy that decided to make sure you are wide awake to operate the 'snooze' function

I mean - the designer must have had 100000000's of opportunities to put it right and totally failed to even notice this blunder - which doesn't look good for the future but i have to ask

Can Android v4.0 play albums???

Music is a deal breaker for me so it might have to be iphone for me

Hope it will be a great relief for all of us here and we'll get some rest.

Otherwise, just go to the market and get some free app that will do everything you need and in the way you want.

BTW, my 2.3 can play albums sequentially if this is what you mean.

You mean you took the time to write that post,but not go on the Play store to look at your options?

In my 2.3 (HTC) it is the default 'Music' app. v.1.60.
When I select a folder to play with many albums in it, I have two icons at the bottom of the screen to chose between 'Albums' and 'Songs' order. As simple as that.
Also, I can use 'Menu' to switch shuffle on/off.

Not looked on Play Store yet - but I'll give you £10,000 for each one "that says" it will play tracks in order

best to get some feedback before downloading all the apps

The standard on that came on the xperia ray (sony) it works the same as the player on the ipod touch.

Rusty!

It's probably just missing the track entry in the ID3 tag, so would fall back to alphabetical

This 100% plays things in order: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.music so if it still does it, it's the tracks fault.
