Sorta related but kinda not... any idea why any of the musics I use drop tracks completely? if I check it wil show the album but install of say 14 tracks it shows 10, then those 4 missing tracks appear as each of their own albums. Seems to mostly happen on collaboration tracks.
 
Since reading these posts yesterday and went back and had a play and discovered that if in the Windows media player menu I set rip to MP3 then the tracks are in perfect order on the phone. Have spent hours deleting my music and re ripping using the above and all is fine:D:D

Yep, this works for me as well. No need to pay for Power AMP after all... unless I want to do away with the annoying split second gap between tracks...

Edit the ID3 tags. Improper tagging placed them in different classification.

Perhaps your PC's media player is grouping them by the album artist tag, whereas the phone only seems to use the artist tag (the poweramp dev acknowledged it as a problem with android). That would cause problems with albums with several artists.

EDIT: I moved this to it's own thread as it's not really related to the other thread.
