I've been playing around with Windows Media Player and iTunes for weeks now, trying to figure out how to get my CDs to come out the way I want them to.
For some reason the order in which I list the files on the burner is completely irrelevant to how it comes out. I've looked at every angle from the order in which I drag the file into the drop-folder to the titles of the tracks (alphabetical order, etc). I'm pretty sure there is nothing I can do but get a different software program.
Furthermore, it seems that when I choose to make a data CD (so I can use .mp3 files) any .wav files I burn onto it as well won't be read by the deck. I'll have five .mp3s and four .wavs and it will read as /05. I don't know what that's about.
What I do know is that I have two CDJ1000mk3s sitting here which are absolutely useless if I can't get a burner that works properly. What am I to do?

I'm not sure if the CDJs read .wavs, but I could be wrong.
Just make an audio CD, or an all mp3 CD.

If you want both mp3s and wav-quality on a CD, you have to record a mixed mode CD with an audio section and a data section, the wavs burnt as audio and the mp3s burnt as data.
Although I don't know for certain if CDJ1000s will be able to deal with a mixed-mode CD - you're much better off either burning one or the other to a CD (so either do an audio CD with wavs or a data CD with mp3s).
You can normally only fit about 10 or 11 audio tracks on a CD, so organisation isn't really an issue, but you'll get that functionality with your mp3 CDs where you've got however many hundred on them.

i also use nero because it's really easy and never had any problems. I do however burn one song on each cd. makes it ez for me to know exactly what song it is rather than have a gazillion songs all over.

I use iTunes.... It's easy and it works all the time.
1.- Make a playlist.
2.- Arrange the songs in the order you want them.
3.- Burn.
DONE!

I use nero, it craps out all the time, i reinstalled and the same problem, so perhaps its not nero but my burner.
Regardless when it does work, it does exactly what i want it to, which is nice.
