burning mp3 discs.... HELP

hi all,

i got this little Q...

i'm off on a roadtrip and i'm backing up some of my CDs on mp3 discs cause i dont want to lug around a hundred albums, and i'm using TOAST to burn.
when i put an cd in a folder on toast, all the songs on that album get burned in alphabetical order, and not in the real song order, which is very annoying...

i tried to burn mp3 discs on itunes, and they are in order, but my car mp3 player wont recognise any song names, which is also annoying if there's 5 albums in a cd.....

any suggestions??? please help!!! i leave in 2 days

thanx P21

maybe you can create a disk image containing all of your mp3's in the order you want them in and burn the disk image

I think the only way you will achieve this is by changing the file names of the MP3s so they are in the right sequence alphabetically. One way to do this would be by prefixing them with numbers.

It's not like writing tracks to an audio CD, you are basically just writing files out to a filesystem (on the disc) and since your in car MP3 player seems to read the filesystem on the disc alphabetically, you're gonna have to work with it if you want to get the files playing in the sequence you require.

I have personally not used Roxio, but if I recall correctly from nero, you can rearrange the list you select anyway you want it. Does Roxio Toast not allow the same flexibility?
