Have I wasted my time? - beckphotonik - 18-07-2014 18:15

I have almost completed adding Composition and Group tags to my Classical music library but I now appear to have a problem. I have no way of playing all tracks on an album that contains composition/group tags. This makes listening to Baroque music rather tedious as I can play only one composition at a time, not good for Concerti Grossi etc. where each piece is a composition rather than the overall Opus. I have show extras set to true and am using Chord HD control point and Synology DS212j NAS.
Any suggestions guys?
Similar problem using 8player on my iPad.

This appears to be a limitation of the Chord control point. If you use another UPnP control point such as BubbleUPnP (Android) or PlugPlayer (iOS), it should work OK.

Thanks Simon, I will check with Bubble on my android tablet but I don't think it supports gapless tracks on my streamer. I shall also try plug player on the iPad. It may be that I have to choose my control point depending on what I want to listen to. Oh bother!

I have a Chord CodeX here (on loan from Chord) and BubbleUPnP is playing gapless on the Chord.

Wow, thanks for that. It should work the same for my DSX1000 then. Many thanks for your help.
