As I don't play that much CD I don't have a sure fire way of doing it, but what I tend to do is burn what I want to use on to two CDs and then just leave em in the CDJs all night and just go to them when I need them.
As I said, I don't play a lot of CDs.

The stuff I get is usually straight from producers anyways so they are recorded straight from source so less data has been lost resulting in less reduction in sound quality.

I also do my own mashups and like to throw them in, giving a creative edge to my mixing and giving people something that they have never heard before.

Cheers
Nem

I usually stick about 5-8 tracks on one cd and make duplicates. I have one of those fold out cd books that can hold something like 100 cds or something. I think I'm up to about 20 now. I have the track names and numbers on the CDs written on labesl tucked into the cd sleeves. It works pretty well.

I thought about going down the one track road, but when you download 20 tracks and want to burn them all, its a lot less painless to burn 3 or 4 cds rather than 20.

I takes a little bit longer to find which track I'm after, but then so does sifting through a case of vinyl to find the track you want.

I usually put as many as I can fit onto the 80 mins.(usually about 8 or 9) If I have enough tunes from one artist to fill the cd then thats how I'll do it but if not then they go in styles or genres eg. vocals, basslines, trance or prog etc.

I don't have enought time to put 1 track to 1 cd, it would take me forever and I'd never have time to mix, I get pissed off doing it my way as it takes 20 mins to burn one full cd at 4x so I think I'd go mad if I did that.

I always try to burn my tunes as wav files and then convert them afterwards to prevent any loss in sound and save space but if I only have an mp3 copy then thats the only option.

I use a program called audio cleaning lab deluxe to do all this, it is really good as levels can be set before burning so all the tunes on the cd are the same level, one thing that really pisses me off is quite mp3s.

Once all this is done they are labeled up and put in a plastic wallet I have done 12 full cd's so far (about 100 tunes) since i've had my numark cdx (about a month) taking me a total of about 6 hours, it is time consuming but I suppose its worth it in the end.
