CD Player Doesn't Play Multiple CDs Randomly

 Last reviewed: May 9, 1997
Article ID: Q103745

The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows NT operating system, version 3.1
  • Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server, version 3.1

SYMPTOMS

If you choose both Multidisk Play and Random Order, sometimes CD Player plays all of the first CD before playing any songs on other CDs.

CAUSE

This is the result of a logic problem and poor randomization.

RESOLUTION

You may be able to avoid this problem if you manually choose a disk other than Disk 1. Randomization then seems to work better.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.1. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
