Originally posted by nrjizer Currently I burn 6-10 tracks per CD as I buy them, and I try to rougly group them by style/sound. I make a double of each so that I can mix tracks that are burned together. Then I make a little index card, and in big sharpie at the top, I write the sounds/styles of the music on that CD. That way, when I'm flipping through my CD book, I can instantly scan my music for the type of track I want, then scan the tracks individually.

Thats what i do too ..........

Originally posted by warmregards i just burn one cd for each single (all the different mixes of each single on its own CD) and file them chronologically in the order i obtain them. you'll be surprised how easily you can find tracks this way. the biggest weakness to my system is probably that it is highly succeptible to error if someone else playing with your songs doesn't put them back where he found them....................................................................................

Write the date that you burnt the CD on it

Then if anything gets out of order, you can sort it out pretty easily
