I've been using the utility PHX wrote. I managed to tweak the soruce just a tad so song titles display without the local computer path, man was that annoying, lol. On top of that, I manually edit my data.txt files afterwards for two reasons. The first is because i like to have more than just one giant program. I usually just make a disc containting several normal CDs, and i split it up into programs, one for each CD. It's annoying to do sure, but i feel it's worth it.

Second, and probably the better one, is i found a way to make the songs play in order, WITHOUT splicing the music as such.

[Program1]
ID=10000
Title=10,000 Days
ProgramPlay=Next
MaxPlayTime=0
SongPlay=Sequential
Songs=11
Commercials=0

The key line here is SongPlay=Sequential. the utility PHX wrote writes data.txt with SongPlay=Next, which for some reason makes the songs shuffle, but it will be the same shuffle order each time. with Sequential, the songs will play in the order listed in the data.txt file. As i said, i make discs with multiple programs, and it will advance to the next song and program in order without any problems.

Props for PHX for making that tool, it still works great.
