[h4]Track Numbering[/h4] The Steam Music Player determines play order from the filenames, not the metadata. If your soundtrack's play order is important, the track number should be included at the start of the filename. If your soundtrack has 10 or more songs, the files 1-9 should begin with a leading 0 (e.g. "01 - Song Title", "02 - Song Title", and so on).

This alignment can cause cascading asset shifts when building new versions, especially if pack file compression is enabled. Using a padding alignment of 1MB (1048576) will help ensure that re-alignments will shift assets by a multiple of the same blocksize that SteamPipe uses for delta calculations. …
