Always play two (some) tracks together in same order

Running Amarok 2.8.90.

I have a large collection of Indian classical music. Some of the performances are split into multiple tracks for various reasons, very often, to accomodate differences in the tempo. So, for instance, the 1st track is played in a very slow tempo, followed by another in a medium tempo and then the last one will be played in a very fast tempo.

It is needed that these tracks play in the same order, as if they were single track. Concatanating these tracks into one is not an option because the metadata for the three is different.

So, how do I achieve this behaviour in Amarok?

How about making a specific playlist for these tracks? There is no way of linking tracks in a definite manner other than a playlist.

FWIW: it's always useful to state the exact Plasma version (+ distribution) when asking questions, makes it easier to help ...

Yes. That is what I do currently. But when these songs become part of some other auto-generated playlist, they can and do get separated and out of desired order.

You can also use the playlist sorting to make sure tracks of the same album are kept together, in the correct order, provided they have a track number set.
