What do you use to make your CDs?

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.

Yeah that's what I'll be doing from now on, but what about the whole organization issue =/

i've always used nero. it's not that good anymore IMO but it's still loads better than windows media player.

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 nero and burn as many songs as i can fit (Usually 7 or 9) at normal speed and i have never had a problem.

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.

Agreed, Nero is easiest way to go
