CD DJs: How do you guys organize your tracks?

I just bought two Pioneer CDJ-800s. Now I need to start getting some more tracks together to put on CDs. I purchased a few tracks from Beatport, but before I burn them to a disc I wanted to get some advice so that I can get organized. Do you guys burn each track to separate discs (keeping remixes of that track on the same disc) or do you put multiple tracks on a disc and make a copy just in case you need to mix two of those tracks together?

1 track per cd with all the remixes I can find of it on the CD.
Then I just write on the cd what it is and what remixes (obvosuly)

seems to work fine for me.

I burn 5 or 6 tracks per CD. Label that something like "Trance 8" or "House 4" and then just write on an index card what songs are on it. Then I just keep all the index cards by my CDs.

I have printable cds & a cd printer and print the tracks on the cd. I also have the artist & title & remix of the track on the cd in cd text so that I can quickly find it if they are in the cd player.

The cd's themselves I will label as Beatport 1, Trance 1, House 1, etc..

I just print out a list of the tracks, and slip it into the cd sleeve.

I dont burn 1 track to one cd either, I just burn tracks onto a cd whenever I've bought enough to fill a cd. Then just make 2 copies of that disk, so that it solves the "oh shit the disk with that track on it is already playing in the other cdj" problem.

normally, i cram as many tracks i can into CD, label them with numbers, or letters, "CD 1" "CD A", and then i print out a master tracklist, or individual ones. i try to make my CDs as varied as possible, making it harder for the need to mix a track on the same disc happening.

i have thought of the 2 copies thing, but i always find myself wanting to burn more tracks, than 2 copies of the same.

I have no stsem whatsoever in regards to burning cds. I just fill one up, burn it, and label it. Sometimes it takes a little time to find the cd I need, but I'm too lazy to start getting organized.

Do you guys burn all cd's you buy and don't have the original cd's in your case? I mean if you do that you must burn a hell lot of CD-r's.
BTW, do u know a good onlinesite where I can buy cheep CD-r's?
