Hey guys I've been adding my bandcamp collection to musicbee but I am having a really frustrating problem. Music Bee keeps changing the tracklist for every album I add to the program. For some reason whenever the files are from a different source e.g (Soulseek) they don't have this problem.


as you can see the gospel album(form soulseek) is organized but the negative gemini(from bandcamp) is out of order. Is it something to do with the numbers on the tracks? This is the way they are titled when I download from bandcamp. Am I missing something simple? Is there someway to organize it manually?

addendum: my friend tried to do it while downloading FLAC's but I used WAV's is there a way to reoorganize the WAV albums without having to download them as FLAC's?

WAVs are notoriously problematic with tags, but since they're lossless you could just have MusicBee convert them to FLAC for you.

WAV files are notorious for not handling tags properly. You can convert your WAVs to FLAC. Select the files > right-click > send to > format converter > format converter > encode as > FLAC. I STRONGLY suggest testing with one album before converting your entire collection. Make sure it's working as expected.

Huh?
How did you get the files to FLAC if the converter didn't work?
