MP3 disc track order

[Androscan]

I burn CDRW discs with my mp3 music tracks, for playing in my car. I would like the disc

to be played in the order in which I "lay down" the tracks for the compilation. This does

not seem to be possible in ImgBurn. Although I can move a track up or down or to the top

or the bottom of the selection list (and it would be easier to do it by dragging), this makes

no difference to the disc.

 

I note that there is some information about the problem in the help documentation - which I

do not understand. This is a problem with other burning software, too.

 

However, ITunes can do it. So, if ITunes can do it, why can't ImgBurn do it also?

 

Thanks for any help,

The order comes from the names of the files - because they're stored alphabetically in the file system.

 

So if you name them properly with a 2 digit track number, it shouldn't be an issue.

 

Of course that doesn't work if you name/number them within an album and then bundle loads together in a single folder.

 

If iTunes does what you want, stick with it.

I was being ungracioius. I do appreciate the generosity of the author in making this

very good software available for free.

 

I use a lot of free software, but I do not have a problem in making a donation, once I have settled

on the "best" one. In image viewing, I have settled on IrfanView for myself, without expecting that

everyone else would have the same preference.

 

In burning software, I have not been able to get settled down yet to a single programme. I bought some

years ago Roxio, also have Nero, and a bunch of free ones. Since I do not want to re-name tracks (because

I keep making different compilations), the ordering of the tracks is important to me.

 

Someone told me that iTunes could do it; I downloaded it, and yes, it does do it. However, I try to

keep away from the "Evin Twins"' and I don't like the interface of the programme, either.

 

That is why I was posting here.

 

ciao,

What disc format you choose in iTunes to burn the disc? Is it MP3 CD or Audio CD?

 

If it is Audio CD, than you need to follow this Guide http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=5555
