I am currently using MM2024-2.0.3184. Recently I have added new cd rips to the library. These were ripped in ALAC .M4A format by iTunes. The Disc # and Track # fields are populated like Disc 1/1 and Track 2/8, etc.

When these albums get synced to an iPhone and I try to play the album in the music app, the tracks are sorted in alphabetical order by the apple music app, not in order by disc # then track #.

If I change the Disc # and Track # fields in the tags to Disc # 1 and Track # 2 (notice no longer have /N after) and re-sync the iPhone, then the tracks ARE sorted in the proper order in the music app. Can someone confirm if this is a problem?

I can confirm, that Music app in iOS 26.2 seems to not support disc/track numbers with slash, ignores them and use alphabetical sorting then.

I guess auto-removing the slashes during sync could work, tracked as https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=21926

That would be a good solution to prevent users from modifying the disc and track #'s of a lot of tracks - please implement!

It already has been implemented and should be available in the next beta release.

Hi Telecore,

Can you confirm whether the fix is working for you in the latest beta builds?

Thx!
