I am putting together some details for a possible new product, and am after some opinions on the best/most popular play order to use when selecting music. Assuming that we don't have user-selectable options for play order what would you want the play order to be for the following music selections.

Please also assume for now that the music collection consists of only complete albums.

1. Play a particular album - I'm assuming this should be played in original album order

2. Play all from a particular artist
- suggestion 1 - order all tracks alphabetically
- suggestion 2 - order all albums alphabetically and all tracks within albums by original album order
- suggestion 3 - order all albums chronologically and all tracks within albums by original album order

3. Play all from a particular genre or music type
- suggestion 1 - order all tracks alphabetically regardless of album or artist
- suggestion 2 - order all tracks by album (chronologically/alphabetically) then by album order
- suggestion 3 - order all tracks by artist then album (chronologically/alphabetically) then by album order
- suggestion 4 - order all tracks by artist then alphabetically

Any other suggestions gratefully received - these are just for starters! I know this is going to be personal preference, but just say you didn't have a nice PC interface to click and it would be sorted just the way you wanted. I hope to find a logical "best compromise" to start from.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
