1. start MusicBee then double click any album
2. the track '1999 (Prince)' starts playing
3. double click album again and now it starts playing as expected
This behaviour is intermittent, don't know how to reproduce. Sometimes the album will start playing correctly first time.
I don't know why it's always '1999' that plays - it isn't the first track in the library by title name or any other tag I can see.
I'm running latest patch version but this has been a long-standing bug for me.

I know its not funny, but... that's kinda funny. Just saying.
Being that the issue is seemingly random I do not think there is much to go on here. Sometimes though Steven works some magic and just fixes things out of nowhere. In the meantime though, I think narrowing down the problem would likely be the best course of action. Problem at the moment is a lack of information. What I would suggest is, temporarily, taking '1999' out of your library completely if this isn't too much trouble. Then continue to use MusicBee as normal. If you then double click an album, and the problem persists, I would expect a different song to play. Perhaps, with more songs playing out of order, we could then compare the tags for all of them for some common pattern? And if the pattern becomes obvious then someone might be able to narrow down where the issue is happening, which would increase the chance for a bug fix.
Just a thought. I know it's not very helpful... sorry. It's the only thing I can think of which allows us to move forward to identify the problem.

@LedHarvest, check if 1999 is 'currently playing' (but of course paused) track on MB start.

It's not right now, but then the issue hasn't reoccurred since I posted. The issue is infrequent but frequent enough to be a nuisance.
I've tried rebooting, re-scanning library, playing genres then albums, tracks then albums, but I can't work out how to reproduce.
And it's not the obvious thought that '1999' is the first track in my library - there are dozens before that if I sort on Title.

It gets less funny the more I hear that intro! I've just noticed I have '1999' in 3 different albums. Next time it happens I'll make note of which album, see if that helps to debug. But I'm not expecting a magic fix on this one, just making note here in case anyone is seeing the same.
