Lets go straight to the likely problem. Go to the play store and download Audio Tag Editor. It is a free app, easy to use, and we can see if there is a problem with your tags and edit them. Once you have the app installed, open it and go through it's introduction and then allow it to access your music files. It should then bring up your LPs. Next enter on an album that plays in alpha. It will display the Artist and amount of tracks. Below that you will see each track. The format should show Track number, title, and track play time. Here is a screen shot of Meet The Beatles

If there isn't a track number, you can type in the correct number for each track by ticking on a song title. It will bring up a player and will play the song if you hit play. At the top of the screen you will see the title you have opened and a pencil to click to edit the tag information. Tick the pencil. You will then see track number as an option to edit. Type in the track number in the title box and then hit save at the bottom of the screen. You will have to repeat the process for each song in the LP.

The Metadata tag is not visible when playing songs but it is read by the player. LP, Artist, Track Name, Track Number, Genre ...etc is read and used by the player. If there isn't a track number, most all players will default to playing the songs in alpha. Missing track numbers in the metadata file is my best guess why your players play some in alpha and some in descending track sequence. This simple editor should be easy enough for you to edit your files.

@Unforgiven are you doing your own corned beef brisket again this year? I thought of you while we were making a little Costco run this morning. They had a counter full of seasoned briskets for the 17th. The briskets were huge so I passed them up. I'll have to buy at my local grocer again.

I went to my local quick Mexican cuisine establishment and came home with a combo burrito and some tacos. Their offerings are consistently small but hot, not greasy servings, that are dirt cheap compared to the franchise chains.

The price of gas here has taken a sudden jump. Today it is $2.99 for regular where I always buy my gas.

For the first time, this year, it seems that I noticed that there was still some líght in the sky until after about 6:30, last night. Don't get me wrong here, I like a later sunset and at my age I don't have to be anywhere in the mornings any longer. But back when we had to get the kids out to school, in the dark, was almost as stressful as having a sunset at 5.30 in the evening.

In northern Nevada, every now and then my phone will briefly connect with a 3G network, the connection last one or two minutes at most.
The only thing I can think is it was put in place by the bureau of land management, the department of transportation or the forest service, it was set up with or eventually had solar panels installed to charge the batteries
Why is it still operating? I think it was either forgotten about or it's some back up plan. Personally I think it was forgotten about or it was put up on some mountain top and people didn't want to go remove it.
The connection is sporadic, you most certainly won't be streaming Netflix

it will be on until either those frequencies are reallocated, or until there are no working devices using it.

this is my best guess using info from my past experiences with the end of analog (900mhz), the end (not quite) of 2G, and the current attempts at AM radio, the loss of FM capability on some devices, the attack on CB radio, and others that I may or may notbe aware of

keep in mind that all frequencies like this were once free for the use of anyone

that is becomming less and less true

also keep in mind that the loss of these and of many other enjoyable things from the past (large, powerful speakers and amps, media with great audio, even cellphones with good range, etc.) have all been degraded or even destroyed by the acceptance of cellphones and other digital drivel.

remember that with every so-called 'upgrade' in this market is always followed with a degradation in some part of the service that is often overlooked by the masses, such as a feature you like that most people dont use.
(that is happening with the FM receiver on Androids)
most folks i know dont even know that there is an offline FM radio built into their phones

it isnt even an advertised feature anymore

that is because the manufacturers would like to do away with it altogether to make each device cheaper (for them, not you. it's an 'upgrade', remember? that means you will pay more for it)

the pathetic range measured in feet of 5G compared to the range measured in miles of 900mhz analog shows that cellular range is decreasing with each 'upgrade'

that means more of these antennas are needed, more radio radiation is produced, and our landscape becomes a prickle pear of antennas poking upwards everywhere

and we pay for it with our money and health with each 'upgrade'

what we gain is never close to what we lose

THE SWIMMING POOL ON THE TITANIC IS STILL FULL

It is currently 37° and partly cloudy. It is to reach the low fifties today with NNW winds nearing 20mph. Tomorrow promises to be a warmer day but the March winds will persist.

A bit esoteric, perhaps, but I at least found this interesting.

This one slipped by us all, which seems surprising, at least to me.

The Rev. Jesse Jackson passed away on February 17; he was 84. He was at so many turning points in the fight for civil rights you can't even think of him or the topic separately.

RIP, Rev. Jackson, and thanks for your efforts for so much of your life. Condolences to your fans, friends, family and loved ones.

see, this right here is why you are having this issue.

i too have a low end device, as all of mine have been from the beginning.

i had the same problems as you for the same reasons, and over time i found a solution.

the solution is free even.

and here you won't even give it a try.

computers have killed off the fun in everything i enjoyed in life, and even when i find a workaround, nobody is interested in the least because even if a priblem gets solved there will always be another problem anyway because of computers

and as frustrated as you are/were with this issue, can you imagine MY frustration at having found a solution and even someone with the same problem could care less

just more wasted effort on my part, like everything else i do

someone here recently told me that i must be one of those folks who sees the glass as half empty instead of half full...
well, the swimming pool on the Titanic is still full

I ordered two 128gb flash drives from Amazon. I only need one but storage is so cheap nowadays I thought I will duplicate my backup on both drives. I can remember when a 100mb drive was huge. 🤣

This week wraps up regular season conference games for men's NCAA basketball. Next week will be conference tournaments and then the 15th will be selection Sunday where the NCAA tournament seeding will be announced. The tournament, "March Madness", will start play the following week and will play out to determine the number one men's college basketball team for 2026. I encourage you to fill out a bracket at ESPN and or Yahoo. It is free to play and has always proved impossible for anyone to pick all of the winners in the tourney.

Okay, this is some pretty cool stuff. I'm actually considering a trade-in: I know I'll lose the Bluetooth S Pen of my S24 Ultra, but I can control the camera and music with my watch.

Yes of course @Milo Willamson !
