The database plays tracks in whichever order they are displayed; albums are sorted by track number by default, other views sort alphabetically or whatever is logical for that view. Using the file browser, no, the tracks are always played in order of their filenames. To play tracks in CD order from the file browser, you have two options: 1: You can rename all tracks to have the track number in front of them (01 – track1.mp3, 02 – track2.mp3, …). Just make sure to zero-prefix the number properly so that 10 will play after 09. There are a number of programs available that can automate this process for you, including The Godfather, MP3Tag, Tag and Rename, and MediaMonkey. You should be able to find these and others through a Google search. 2: Make a playlist for each album and play that instead of the .mp3 files.
