I have gotten about 10Gig worth of CDs recorded now and have started making data CD's of mp3s to play on my car deck. When I recorded the original CDs using MJ, I put all the tracks on my hard drive in artist/album/ folders. I made the Filenames begin with the track number like "01-A Calling On Song.mp3" This should work well when I plop 7 CDs onto a single data mp3 cd. I will put them on the data CD in an /Album/ folder so that I get the most mileage out of the decks display. It displays tag title, tag artist, and folder name, so using one layer of folders named with album titles I can get the car deck to display everything I want. Anyway, and here's the rub, when I try to make a compilation mp3 cd I create a folder for each compilation, for example rock/ or celtic/ and put the tracks into it. The problem is, the car deck plays all the track 01's first, the 02's second, etc.
How do I force the order? I tried using a playlist and burning from it, no joy. It seems to me that the burning dialog box should be able to force new 8.3 filenames onto the cd so that desired order can be set. Does anyone know how to do this with MJ? I use 7.2. If not MJ, is anyone aware of a reasonable alternative to get what I need?
Any suggestions and comments are welcome, thanks in advance.
