That's how it should be. I never browse (pop) music using genres. Just
tried that, and I should clean that up. It's not too bad, though.
(For classical music, browsing genre is great. Genre / Composer / Work /
Recording. ;-) )

Further investigation showed that some drivers come with Waves

It's funny, isn't it. I could've spend a couple of thousands euros more

It is easy to miss, yes. But as I wrote earlier, it's ID3v2.3 only
that's causing problems. That's what I meant when I wrote:

I still cannot answer the why, but the how. It's the tag format. The
(mp3) files were tagged with ID3v2.3 and ID3v1. I isolated the tags and
created three folders: FLAC, ID3v1 and ID3v2.3 (and renamed the albums
accordingly).
FLAC and ID3v1 were played in the correct order, while ID3v2.3 did
I changed the track title to include the track number (01. Spring 0, 02.
Spring 1 etc.). I also duplicated the folder that holds the files,
re-tagged album to "2. Test" and copied the files sequentially to the SD
card.
The order is the same for both albums. The current flavor is:
