Hi, all. I'm new to all this, so forgive me if this road has been gone down before.
I just started the process of ripping my CD collection to FLAC and storing the files on a NAS. I can then access the files on my Home Network and play them back on my AV Receiver using the HEOS app. I am used to sorting my LPs and CDs by artist alphabetically, and they by album chronologically. I'm almost 200 CDs deep in my ripping task, and I've come to realize that the file structure and HEOS user interface lists the artist albums alphabetically, which I guess makes perfect sense for a computer.
My question is, is there some trick or workaround to use the Metadata embedded in the albums to sort artist albums by date? One solution would be to add numbers before the album names to sort them, but that would be a major pain in the ass.
If I just have to live with alphabetical I'm sure it's fine. There are worse problems in the world. I was hoping some clever person has run into this issue and solved it already.
