Laufer Teknik Memory Player and Mini

Bob -

Thanks for starting this thread. I’m a new Memory Player 64/16 owner.

I’m wondering if I am ripping my cd’s correctly into the Memory Player. Whenever I rip using dbPoweramp to JRiver, the album tracks get alphabetized instead of being put in track order. I have dbPoweramp set to rip to WAVE64. The ripped files are stored in the Memory Player.

The same thing happens when I try to transfer files from an external hard drive, which I had converted to WAVE64. The albums tracks get alphabetized.

I have Roon as well as JRiver. With Roon, the album tracks that are ripped to WAVE64 are in correct numerical order. It’s just JRiver that’s a problem. I'm glad I discovered Roon or I would have been really frustrated with the situation.

Does anyone have the same issue? Any ideas why my album tracks are being put into alphabetical order with JRiver?

No help with the mini or memory player.

However I do use JRiver and all my ripped cds to either USB thumb drive or PC own internal hard drive are always in track order.
Not sure if I got lucky with settings or what.

I did have a similar problem with mconnect software on my phone and once I dug into the settings I did find an option for title or track number which fixed the issue.

Might be worth poking around the JRiver settings?

Thank you Uberwaltz for responding. Thing is, all was well when I was using JRiver with my Mac Mini and AIFF files. There's something about how JRiver is dealing with my WAVE64 files. Granted, WAVE64 is somewhat of a novelty for file playback, but that's what Laufer Teknik recommends. I looked at my JRiver settings before, but I'll poke around some more to see if there's something I missed.

Thanks for posting guys.
I know there are other Memory Player owners on Agon and hope they will chime in with recommendations.
@thaluza .
The only other advice I can offer is to try calling Sam and have him explain the best practices. He seems to be more available during the weekends. So, if you can call him during the week, say Friday, and see if he can spend some time, I think it would be time well spent.
FWIW, I find Sam to be very helpful, but the many facets of running a business seems to stretch him thin. I believe a little patience and brainstorming here on Audiogon will give us the answers we need.

A little late to this party...

I have been enjoying my MP64 for a couple of years now. When you rip a CD into wav64, it gets in only limited metadata. Assuming you are using the dbpoweramp as setup by Sam and Mark, you will have the track number as part of the file name. You can go to the album in jriver, order the tracks based on file name, select all tracks, right click and chose fill track # from filename. Be careful you don't select more than one album as the track numbers can get mixed up.

Thank you soulforged. Much appreciated. I will try your suggestion.

Roon has been working well for me as far as getting the track numbers correct, but I will re-visit JRiver. I will also compare the audio quality of the two and see if I can tell a difference.
