No music sorting?

#1

i just signed up for a premium account yesterday so that i could upload to the cloud. i’m now finding out that there’s no library? all there appears to be is this bulky list of albums, can’t sort by genre, artist, year, etc. is this a joke or am i missing something?

Nope, no joke. Its a little bit better on iOS, but thats it. I just use this service as an unlimited backup or my Flac files at this point. Support here is a joke. They do not implement anything we ask and they always give a canned excuse as to why they do not do things.

The Library is sorted base on id3 tags and the file format.

Main Tags used for sorting are: Track number, Release Year, Album name, Artist name, etc.

Also, you can create a Collection to group your music files there!

We don`t use such tags as - genre, skip, or play in VOX app at the moment.

However, all feature requests are saved and, probably, some of them will be introduced in new version of VOX app.

We need a better player… I’ve spent the last month uploading music. But now that I want to play it, the options are very limited. There’s not even a way to shuffle all songs in the Mac OS app!

And there should be a sort by genre option on the iOS app. How about file type, 24bit, sample rate. DSD, etc.

I’ve just installed Vox on my MacBook Pro and love the sound quality versus Apple Music.

I do have a question, though, following your comment here, “Main Tags used for sorting are: Track number, Release Year, Album name, Artist name, etc.”

I’ve imported my library from iTunes. Can I change the order that my albums are displayed in the library view when I click on Library>iTunes? I’d like them to be ordered by Album name.

Thanks.

There is, sort of but I think it’s just dumb luck.

  1. You’re playing something and now you want to shuffle all albums
  2. Go to the Queue and delete everything
  3. Go back to your VOX Cloud or iTunes list (maybe it works with others too)
  4. Press the FFW button so the song info clears out, leaving it blank (just says “VOX”)
  5. Turn on Shuffle and hit play

It’ll now shuffle everything. Weird.

Yes, it can work like that :slight_smile:

Here is another option:

  • Go to iTunes tab, VOX Cloud, SoundCloud
  • Press CMD+A to select all tracks, Albums, Artists
  • Perform a Secondary tap to open the Context menu
  • Select Add to Collection option > Playlist

Now all tracks you’ve selected are added to the first tab Playlist!

Head to the Playlist tab, make sure Shuffle is set to ON and hit the play button to shuffle everything in the Playlist!
