Ok, now before I posted this, I did a search and found at least 8 pages referring to burning. I browsed through the topics up through one year ago and still did not see a question or answer specifically targetting my issue, so here goes.

I need to know if any of these burning programs you are all mentioning will allow me to burn MP3's to a CD but burn them in whatever order I want them to be? What I mean is that like right now, I ripped my Japanese I learning CD's to MP3's (30 lessons of around 30 minutes each) and I want to burn them (or as many as I can) to a single CD. When I tried this out, even though when I put them into the pane to be burned they were in order from 1-26, after I burned them I looked on the disc and they were in order like 1, 10, 11, 12-19, then 20-16, then 3-9. Anyone know which software out there works in the way I need? Thanks for any help!
 
NERO > multi session disk > burn one file at a time in the order you chose, then just close the disk. there may be other ways but I don't know. If you can use ID tags I would say go that way and I never burned more than 2 session on one disk before but you should be able to do it.
PS If I am wrong about this or there is an easier way to do this someone please point it out to us / me.
 
I use Nero and it keeps them in the order that I want without doing it one at a time.
 
Thanks for the replies, guys. Hmmm, when I bought a CD burner for my niece it came with some version of Nero now that I think of it. I guess I am going over there this weekend to borrow that and try it heh.
 
To force the # order you can rename all the file as such.
01, 02, 03, 04, ...... , 11, 12, 13, ......
I used to do this with large # of pictures or files that i burned to CD or saved on HD. Of course if the total # of files were say over 100 i'd start off numbering like this instead 001, 002, 003, .....
