Default Burn MP3 What am I doing wrong!!!!!
OK, so I take about 165 songs, all in order by Artist. I burn them to a CD as Data. When I put it in the radio it plays without a problem, except, the order is all different!

Anyone have this problem? Know a solution? Use a program that works?

Thanks,

Mike

Using Nero or Roxio software should allow you to create a CD project (containing the 165 songs) and see in what order they appear prior to actually burning on to the CD. You should also be able to changed the sorting/order of the songs, within the CD project, before actually burning the CD. Give that a try.

If you want to make sure they play in a specific order you might want to add a number to beginning of each name, otherwise Windows will arrange them in a folder in alpha order and you burning software will do the same thing.

Or you can just use iTunes like I do to burn a mp3 Cd. There's even a random option so you don't have to listen to your song un alphabetical order.

I've used Itunes in the past, but only been able to get 15-20 songs per CD. Is there some special trick to get 165 songs on a single CD. That would be awesome.

When you load the songs into your burner program they normally will change the sequence according to either the date or the length of the file.

You can burn a mp3 CD withiTunes, in the preferences, go in the advance tab and select burn mp3 CD instead of music CD and you'll be able to burn 150+ songs on a disc. I have 147 song on a CD burned with iTunes.

I use Windows Media Player without any issues. They burn and play in the exact order that I add them to my playlist.

My current MP3 CD has 198 songs on it.
