Okay I am a lot happier. I was able to copy my playlist to a folder on my hard drive and use my hp easy cd creator to easily creat a disk with 250 mp3 songs. Popped it in my great little sony z8 x3cp boom box and it played like a champ complete with song and artist names coming up in the display.
Now for those others like me that may have trouble, here is what I did. First I had to convert my ape files to mp3. I tried to do an entire play list but mj would crash. So I had to slowly pick 10 to 20 files with the mouse and convert them. Even then mj would occasionly freeze. When I finally got them converted I had to reimport the mp3 files to mj. Then I constructed my 250 song playlist. Then I made a folder for them on my hard drive. Then I clicked edit and select all to highlight all the files. Right click and select move copy and jog around to find the folder I created on my hard drive. Copied the files to my folder. Pulled up hp easy cd creator and highlighted the folder and in a few minutes I had my 250 song mp3.
Now as others have said. The most important feature mj could add is the ability to take a playlist of 250 or so songs of different formats and in one action convert this to all mp3 and copy to a disk. With all the boomboxes stereo cd systems and even tv dvd players that play mp3 files being sold now people are going to want to be able to easily creat mp3 disks so they can enjoy 10 hours of the music they like without having to change cd's.
Anyway mj is still a great program and I am sorry if I get a little impatient with it.
