I don't like the way how playlist files & tracks from cue files are displayed in the files view in My Music.
1. When there are 2 cd's with cue's it list them 01, 01, 02, 02.
Playback doesn't work properly then.
2. When the track number isn't specified in the id3 it displays all A-Z.
I'd like to take a look at the code and see if I can fix it.
Could someone point me out in which files the code is?

GUIWindowMusicSongs.cpp is the Music Files view, but you really want to look at FileItem.cpp and CueDocument.cpp... but:
1) Try tagging the accompanying media files with TPOS (part of set) tags to mark the disc number. This definately works for non-cue sheet media files.
** edit ** I took a look and this doesnt happen for cuesheet items. It could be added to CFileItem::FilterCueItems(). The track number part of the music tag class is actually divided into two 16-bit pieces -- one for the disc, one for the track. look at musicInfoTag.cpp.
2) If there's no track number, the track number (%N) part of the music naming template should be skipped over. Are you saying that you see junk?

for 2:
I have music files like this with NO ID3 TAG!
01. Artist Z - Track Z.mp3
02. Artist A - Track A.mp3
03. Artist C - Track C.mp3
since it doesn't have an id3 tag with the tracks number they are ordered A-Z or Z-A (depending on option set in gui)
guess thats by design, but a normal directory view (at least that sort) seems more logical for me for a files view.
