Feature request: Display track numbers in album view

[Dave Rado]

I would like to request an option for AIMP for Android to display the track numbers stored in the files' metadata alongside each track when viewing an album.

At present, when opening an album, AIMP does not display the track numbers. I find this inconvenient with albums in general, but it is particularly problematic with multi-disc albums as you can't see where disc 1 ends and disc 2 begins.

For example, with a two-disc album, I would ideally like the album view to look something like:

Disc 1
1 Track title
2 Track title
3 Track title
...

Disc 2
1 Track title
2 Track title
3 Track title
...

This is how iTunes and various other media players handle multi-disc albums.

The "Disc 1" and "Disc 2" headings would be useful, but they aren't essential. Simply displaying the track number would already solve the main problem: when the numbering goes from, for example, 12 back to 1, it is immediately obvious that the next track belongs to the second disc.

The track number is already stored in the files' metadata, so this would simply provide a way of displaying information that is already available.

An optional setting to show/hide track numbers in the album view would be ideal.

PS - I see that someone has voted "Don't do that". I am not asking for this to be the default view, I am just asking for the option to be available to those who want it. I don't understand why anyone would object to an option being made available to those who want it, if those who don't want it would see no change.

Many media players so display track numbers for albums, presumably because many people want this feature. I'm not asking for it to be imposed on those who don't want it, just that it should be available to those who do.

For real, that would be really useful

i've also made a quick mockup in photoshop to show how it would look based on enhance

In album view, tracks always in track number order. I see no reason to show the number.

С одной стороны Вы правы, но дело не в сортировке, а в удобстве навигации. Например, человек запомнил, что трек, который ему нравится на альбоме находится в районе 5-7 трека. Чтобы его быстрее найти, он будет смотреть на номер трека, ибо так банально удобнее и быстрее искать трек среди альбома. Плюс если на альбоме, например, 34 трека, то без нумерации навигация была бы неудобной.

Взять, например, стриминги, с которых большинство и переходит на локальные плееры. На всех них нумерация присутствует, люди просто напросто к этому привыкли. Я не говорю, что ваш плеер хуже, чем стриминги или что-то типа того. Как раз таки это не так, ваш плеер все ещё прекрасен, но с нумерацией он был бы ещё лучше. Надеюсь на Ваше понимание

On one hand, you're right, but it's not really about sorting — it's about ease of navigation. For example, someone might remember that a track they like is around track 5 to 7 on the album. To find it faster, they'll look at the track numbers because it's simply easier and quicker to browse an album that way. Plus, if an album has, say, 34 tracks, navigating through it without track numbering becomes inconvenient.
Take streaming services, for instance, which is where most people switch from when moving to local players. All of them have track numbering, so people are simply used to it. I'm not saying your player is worse than streaming apps or anything like that. In fact, quite the opposite — your player is still great, it would just be even better with track numbers. Hope for your understanding.

I also find that this feature would be very useful. If its written in the file, why don't display it? On pc it shows you (for example): #3/17 but on mobile you can only see #3. This feature would be really great or an option to toggle it and it being off by default If you don't like it.
