Mixed Up Track Order from dbPoweramp rips


Can anybody tell me which rip settings will ensure track order remains as in the original CD? I looked for an answer on the CA website and in the dbPoweramp forums to no avail. I'm ripping usung the Computer Audiophile CD Ripping Strategy and Methodololgy:

Any advice on this will be welcomed. I'm in the process of ripping my library and would like to skip the step of rearranging tracks after each rip.

The naming convention and the sorting logic may be the issue. Is your software sorting by track number or by track title? I name the files as track number track title. e.g. 01 Tin Angel, 02 Chelsea Morning, etc. You can set up dBpoweramp to create files with that naming convention. That will keep them in order in your folders and also allow the player to easily identify the track numbers. Just tell the player that your files are named as track # track name so it imports them correctly. dBpoweramp should be putting the track # in the tag, which should be sufficient for you player to sort correctly, but not for your folders.
