Hi Everyone. I’m totally new at MP3 technology and have 2 basic questions in relation to burning MP3 files to CD-R’s using Windows Media Player 10 to be played in my car stereo (JVC model KD-G310). Anyone who can answer either or both of these questions, especially the first question, would save me a lot of time and effort, and I would greatly appreciate it. Here are the questions:

1) When I burn MP3 files to a CD-R to play in my car stereo, why won’t they play back in the order that I burned them to the CD? Do I need some sort of tag editor? Is that the problem?
2) When I burn MP3 files to CD-R’s, why am I able to fit 12 hours (153 songs) of music on them? I thought the limit was 8 hours but accidentally selected 12 hours of music – and it worked. It plays perfectly in my new car stereo, but not in the track order that I burned it.

Don't use that crap mp for burning!

Even Nero trial is better.

LOL. Looks like you recognize my screen name chef. Which means you must be a REAL Tolkien fan to have actually read The Silmarillion.

Anyway, thanks for the advice.

For future reference I want everyone to know that I posted this question last night in 2 other forums – “Newbie Forum” and “CD and DVD Burning Software”. Since I got the most responses from the “Newbie Forum”, I will no longer check this forum for answers. I think my questions are more appropriately posted there, at least for now. Thanks everyone!
