    Hey guys.. I'm using Easy CD Creator 5 and I am burned an MP3 CD earlier with a bunch of MP3s separated by folder, and in the folder they are then named in the correct track list of that CD. When I check the playlist on Easy CD Creator, it shows the correct order; but when I go to put the CD in my MP3 Player, it seems to change the order. It's not alphabetically either. I'm not sure if I should use a different program or a different approach; but anyone have any ideas?

    It should be alphabetical. Have you numbered the sings properly (01,02...09,10..)? For the track numbers below 10 you need to add the zero to the beginning so that they are sorted properly.

    If you want them to play in a certain order then name them with only 8 characters including a 3 digit number at the start for the order of play eg:

    001TRACK
    002TRACK

    And if your mp3 player supports alubums then you can put files from different albums into folders and name them like the files eg:

    001ALBUM
    002ALBUM

    And you'll end up with a structure like this:

    001ALBUM -->001TRACK
    002TRACK

    002ALBUM -->001TRACK
    002TRACK

    NOTE: You can replace the ALBUM or TRACK after the 3 digits to any 5 letters you want.

    I appreciate your help, but I figured out another way to name them. I create separate folders for each album.

    Album 01 Track

    That seems to work well... I did have it like the following and it did not work:
    Artist Album 01 Track
