i want to make a folder and add particular tracks into it and then play this like i would any album - sort of like my own compilation album
when i create the folder and move the tracks into it everything is ok but when i come to play it in the stock player or mixzing its not recognised as an album and all the tracks are seperate
is there a way i can do this without having to make a playlist ?

It's because the player is reading the ID3 tags, which will have the album info for each track.
Not sure if it's possible but you could see if there's a menu option to ignore tags, and just play the tracks as-is. I've definitely seen that somewhere recently, but it may not be on my Desire.
Failing that, the only way I know of is to edit the tags using something like MP3TAG. I do this to achieve exactly what you want, and just give them the same album name, and set the artist to 'Various'.
 
You need a player that can play via folder structure.I can't recommend any as I don't use the phone for music but maybe some one will be able to help.
