MP3 to Cd Question please help!
I have a C6 that can now play MP3 files. I have no trouble burning MP3 disc's but I am having trouble with the song order on any Mp3 disc. Nero Burn wants to alphabetize by song title and change the running order of the original cd. I have tried relabeling the song titles with 01, 02 etc. That method works until I get to double digit. Then it puts 10, 11, 12 and so on ahead of the 01, 02, 03's. I have even tried using the alphabet instead of numbers. It still won't record my songs in the order I want them to be.
Anyone know how to fix this? Is there a MP3 program I can buy that will allow me to change the song order to what I want?
I have burned nearly a dozen cd's last night trying everything I can think of and every time the finished cd plays in a different order than what was on my computer screen. It's driving me crazy here!
I am new to MP3's but not to my computer. I have never seen anything so out of reason as this. Why won't the recorded MP3 cd be the same order as the original?
Any help would be appreciated.

iTunes/Artist name

If you figure out how to get the artist name to copy and display on the Mp3 screen using iTunes let me know, will you. I can't figure it out either. Thanks.

Ok after spending the last 24 hours or so immersed in the MP3 format, here's what I found:
It doesn't matter what you name the tracks. When you "rip" them to your hard drive in the MP3 format, it is tagged with information. The info will not change by renaming the files.
I did however, find a program that allows me to modify the tags. It is a $20 down-loadable program that will allow you to put your tracks in any order you choose or at the very least in sequential order. It is called Music Match Jukebox. Here is a link. Save yourself the aggravation and use this!

This is my first exposure to the MP3 world and it was an eye opener! I just put over 7 hours of ZZ Top music on one Cd and it sounds FANTASTIC in my C6! Hit random play and it goes forever!
Hope this answers some questions. It answered mine!

You can simply use WinAMP to modify the tags that are embedded in your MP3 files.
What version of Nero are you using? Every version I've ever used burns the MP3 files in the order they are displayed in Nero. And if I don't like the default order I can drag the files up and down the filelist in Nero to modify it.

MP3 Folders and Play Order
I have the same issues as Braced and some others who have posted here. Unfortunately for me, the fixes you guys mentioned assumes that you are using a Windows machine. Does anyone have any experience with a Mac OSX platform? I normally use iTunes and it does a great job, but it seems to be completely demonic when it decides what order to use. I've burned the same CD Playlist 3 or 4 times and it seems to come up different each time. Sometimes, it will assemble separate file folders based on artist, sometimes on genre, and sometimes alphabetical, and then one burned the list based on track numbers. WTF?
If anyone has any experience fixing this problem using the OSX platform, please share your ideas. Meanwhile, I'll keep burning CD's until I figure it out.
Thanks,

Just one of the reasons I don't use Nero anymore. I use Music Match, and more recently iTunes (only because I replaced the POS Bose 12-disc changer with a Nano).
You may want to re-try naming your songs like you did, but instead of starting with "01", try starting with "111". (next is 112, 113, 114, etc.)
Maybe Nero treats zero as coming after nine.

MP3 Folders and Play Order
Just in case any of you are using Mac OSX as your computer operating system, I found that if you burn your MP3 CD using Roxio Toast Titanium, you can build the file folders however you want and just drag and drop the songs you want into each folder. When you plug the CD in, it shows all of the folders in Alphabetical order, same with the songs inside the folder. Not sure if there is another way to sort, but at least this helps a lot with a couple of hundred songs on one CD.
