“Still broken in 1.04.22B”

Just adding my confirmation to this, along with my concurrence that for me this bug is a deal-breaker.  I’ve rolled back to 1.03.49.

I have a large music collection on a Synology DS-209+II. When I choose Music/All from the WD TV menu, I get a list of song titles in alphabetic Album-title sequence.  No matter which song I choose as my starting song, when using newer firmware, all subsequent songs come from a very small alphabetical range of album titles, grouped around the album that contained my starting song. This eliminates about 95% of my collection from ever being played during that session, and obviously results in many duplicate album choices within a short period of time. Very annoying! WD support responded to and accepted my problem report via the Ask a Question support link, but I’ve never seen it acknowledged in any later release notes.

Come on, folks, this can’t be that hard to fix!

 (PS…Using Windows 7 and IE 9, I could not get text to post on this board.  Had to use my wife’s laptop with Vista/IE 8.)
