Have you just try going to A+ prefs panel and delete your database there with the minus sign at bottom of window. Shut down A+, restart MAC... when A+ start again, it will ask where is your music folder, show it, (or add it yourself with + sign) then wait till it is loaded, and see if it plays the song now... my thought Thanks for the reply. I did delete A+ and associated files in OSX , re-installed A+ as new and reconnected the library etc. But it has the same behavior. I also use A+ to the USB inputs of MSB and Medus. This works fine. I wonder whether this is a corrupted file issue or something else. May be I misinterpret how A+ act as a Control Point with Synology as Media server. Link to comment

In the present case, it seems the disc number tag is empty, and it is only written in the album title that is a text field. Solution is then to edit these few albums to set their disc number tag. All the disc number fields had already been filled 1-52 and still it doesn't work correctly 1 then 11 etc. Link to comment
Dandaman Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Try "01", "02", "03"... "09", "10", "11" and so on. Link to comment

That would probably work, but really, should that be necessary? Lots of computer programs can figure this out without people needing workarounds that might involve changing metadata on thousands of files. iTunes is ugly, and the sound not in this league... but it has been able to sort correctly since day one - even when the numbers and text are in the same field (i.e., title field: Symphony 1 then Symphony 2, not Symphony 10).

jumpsturdy Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Thanks, will give that a try. Makes a good deal of sense. Link to comment
jumpsturdy Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Didn't work. Program did not allow me to enter a 0 before single digits, i.e. 01. After saving and then rechecking the disc number was still showing as 1. Link to comment

Are you doing any DSD up-sampling or just bit perfect playback? I posted my issue here with my ultraRendu to Damien on the 21st to Damien but no response. Any DSD128 upsampling or higher for me doesn’t work with A+ It’s a gigabit ethernet network and Roon can upsample to DSD512 on this same network without a hiccup. Link to comment

jamesg11 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Likewise, I’m getting everthing working well with Roon - but A+ from an uptoned-macmini is just not functioning properly: continual stuttering is the main issue. At times, it’ll ‘settle’ & I can play pcm16/44 & dsf64 files, with no upsampling; mostly it struggles with even that. Done the usual trashing & re-install of A+. It was clearly superior before 3.1 & the rendu.

fourstrings1891 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 @damien78 The last 4-5 seconds of the first play queue track are sometimes skipped. AFAIK it happens every time A+ has been restarted, but sometimes also when a new album is added the queue and played. Only happens with network player (Volumio/Raspberry), not with USB DAC.

Stop playback and clear current the play queue 2. Drag som tracks to the play queue 3. Double click the first track Playback won't start. If I then double clicking the second track, playback will start. And after that I can also double click the first track to initate playback. Reproducible on two different computers with both network renderer and USB DAC. Link to comment
