I'd posted yesterday in an old thread (and, for what it's worth, e-mailed the developer) but thought I'd just start a new one here to ask the question.
I've been using this for about a month, and while the results are pretty spectacular, I'm seeing some of the "Aretha" type behaviors mentioned here years ago, although in my case it seems to be related to how I have the files stored on my server.
I listen totally to older music, and have a big library of CD and vinyl rips that I've done. So for vintage country, everything will have a simple generic "country" tag, and then when I tell Sugarcube to limit genre to match the seed, it works very, very well.
Except that within my main "country" folder on the server, I have two subfolders - CD and Discs. Sugarcube is, probably 95% of the time, choosing from CD, although not always, so it's definitely seeing the latter folder, and I can seed from there with no problem. A regular MiP mix is a good balance of the two.
I like keeping the CD content away from the vinyl content; I assume the obvious solution here is to group all together but I'd prefer not to do that.
I'm running this on an old music-only machine with Windows 7 in 32-bit, if that makes a difference. That's because I love the sound of this old soundcard I have to do needledrops and it won't run 64-bit, so this machine is used only for music.
Just wondering if anybody ever actually solved this alphabetical thing...I've read all the threads and see a lot of complaints and a lot of references to settings, etc., but nothing I do with Sugarcube seems to make a difference. And again the mixes it does with the music it IS pulling are amazing, just wish it were being more inclusive of my entire library within any given genre.
I also realize the developer used to push people to his forum, but I can't seem to find it - does it still exist? This might've been tackled in depth there, so I'd be happy to research there if I could locate it.
