General Discussion / Re: m4a Track Number Issue

« on: July 12, 2026, 03:21:10 PM »

This makes a lot of sense. After a few hours of fighting with everything, I realized my flac files are actually named 01 - track 02 - track etc but my m4a were just the names of the titles. My own fault for not investigating further. Solved!

Would be cool if it could work based on the metadata like iTunes but love WACUP anyway . Thanks for the response!

General Discussion / m4a Track Number Issue

« on: July 11, 2026, 07:03:45 PM »

Hi! I don't know if this is solved or not, but I've been having trouble with my metadata from m4a tracks. Whenever I load my .flac albums onto a playlist (just drag and drop a folder of files) they're arranged correctly by track number and disc number. When I try to do the same with my m4a files, they're arranged alphabetically. For the m4a files, in windows explorer I see the correct track number, and everything works correctly and loads according to track number in iTunes. The only thing I've noticed is that I look at the metadata for the files in wacup it shows 1/15 2/15 instead of integers 1, 2... If I manually edit the data, it still doesn't fix the issue.

I used mp3tag to delete the totaltracks metadata from the album, and this made wacup metadata read integers (1, 2...) rather than the fractions (1/15, 2/15, ...) but the files are still loading alphabetically. Really frustrating because all my flac albums work perfectly, and I think the metadata is fine (in some regard) because iTunes is reading it properly.

Hope someone can help!
