(I tried searching before posting but couldn’t find anything; however, every time I post here there seems to already be an existing thread. So my advance thanks when/if one of you kind folks points me to it. )
I use the “Library Radio” station and a shuffle of my entire music library quite a bit. Something I have noticed is that Plexamp seems to play the live version of a track before it will play the studio version. For example, in my library I have all the studio albums plus one live album for the artist Soul Coughing. On shuffle of all tracks or on the Library Radio station it seems to always play tracks from the live album and almost never the tracks from any of the studio albums. This is just one example, but I could list dozens if not hundreds of this exact occurrence.
I even went as far as creating a playlist that includes all tracks except for live tracks, but it still plays live tracks anyway.
And yes, I have properly tagged my entire library using (primarily) Picard and (sometimes) MP3Tag.
Anyway, hopefully this describes my experience properly. Am I crazy and it’s just my perception that Plexamp is playing live tracks over studio tracks. Or is there possibly something to it?
There’s something slightly odd there, do you see how it’s the same number of tracks under each filter? So it seems like maybe it’s not having the effect you’re thinking, although yes, it is rounding to the nearest 100 tracks.
I believe filters in general are working fine on my system.
Perhaps I should have left out the part about the playlist that I created to try to filter out live tracks?
I REALLY notice it on the “Library Radio” station which is my primary go-to method of listening to my library in the car. But even when I simply shuffle my entire track library with no filters, PlexAmp seems to play the live tracks before/instead of the studio tracks.
(by the way, the track transitions are astoundingly amazing most of the time…cheers to whoever worked on the Sweet Fades feature)
Again, it could just be my warped perception, but seems very real.
