is there a way to do it? i have been using nero to burn cds, but now i wanna make mp3 cds and select the order. but nero aranges the folders in alphabetical order AND the files in the folders. is there a away around this so you can select the file order? or is there a program that allows you to chose the order? i think i used to be able to do it with roxio but it doesnt work with my new burner.
any help appreciated.

i think if you name them 01 - Filename.mp3 most mp3 players cut off the 03 - bit when displaying the name. look in your manual or do a google search by your model number, you should find the exact format somewhere

only problem is, ive already ripped 82 albums so far and i dont wanna have to rename like 1000 songs or rip them over again. cause you can arange folder by track number which i have already. so i think it would be easier to find a burning program that could let me burn in the order i click and drag the folders 
the cds are for my cars head unit not a portable like an ipod if that makes a difference.

the order of the burn is irrelevent (i think) the player will still read them as an alphabetical listing.

i havent thought about that, i thought the head unit would just read them in the order that they are written? does it have the capability to rearange them?
i mean if theres no way to do it ill just have to put up with it  but if theres another program like roxio where you can chose the file order that would be sweet.

sorry i just had an idea. in theory, you should be able to write a program where you choose the order you want the songs, then as it burns the cd it add the prefix "01 - " etc to every file in the order you stated. this way you would not have to rename at all. as to whether or not such a prog exists, i have no idea. this might be how roxio works, idont know i have never used it, or there might be an even better way. my HU does play mp3s but i still havent bothered coz i plug my ipod into the aux.

yeah i guess the only way is to rename the files, but as there are already over 1000, i wont be doing that.
i wish i had have known it would only do them in alphabetical order before i started ripping them 
i know it sounds fussy but i just wanted the option of listening to one album in its original order by playing one folder, ohwell.

your mp3 deck should be capable of playing in folders, I know mine is. I forgot the model but it's Pioneer

yeah but within the folder the tracks will be played in alphabetical order. keep searching. now that ive thought about it a bit i think you are right, there must be a program out there for this specific purpose.
good luck.

PS. renaming files sucks. when my HD died i pulled all my mp3s back off my ipod, but had to rename like 90% of them (about 1500) coz itunes chops the ends off the filenames. and for bands with really long names eg. rage against the machine, the entire track name is deleted! i hate apple.

Custom Sort Order
Most of the car and portable mp3 players say that songs will always be played in alphabetical order. But our tests show that in most head units they are played in the order they are saved on CD�s. MP3BR Imager lets you organize folders and files in a customized order. Just click on the up and down buttons and move songs and/or folders so that they are burned on the CD in the order you want. You don�t need to number your files according to your preference anymore. Even for the players that force the alphabetical order when playing there is a solution: MP3BR Imager can automatically insert numbers renaming the songs just inside the image file. So, the source files are untouched and you can burn CD�s with different playing orders without manually renaming folders and files. Of course, if you want one special folder to be in alphabetical order you can do it too.

just used the program, did the songs in order for a cd and then wrote an .iso file and burnt it with nero. tried it in the car and they are in alphabetical order!
would it be nero rearanging them before it burns the cd or could it be the HU? surely its not the headunit cause it doesnt say the title of the folder just the number ie folder 2.
and another thing, of the mp3 cds ive burnt, say there are 5 folders, in the HU it will say there are 6 but the first folder there is nothing? its not a big deal i was just wondering why that was, hu is a current pioneer.
