How do you organize your mp3 CDs?
Brand new owner of a 2005 G35 sport+premium+nav (literally fresh off the truck the day I picked her up!)
Anywho... On my first burn, I thought it logical to organize each artist in its own folder, but when you scroll, it just shows "FLDR 1," which kinda doesn't make that easy (unless I remember which # is which artist). I know I can change the display to show folder instead of ID3 title, but that only appears after the song's been playing so it doesn't help during scrolling.
Right now, I just loaded a grip of songs on a CD and play it on mix, but if I want to hear a certain song it's really hard to find.
I've considered making each folder a playlist, but in the end I may just have to keep a little printout of what artist is in what # folder, but wondering what others have done!

I thought you just have to rename the folder to whatever you want and it'll display the folder name. Not 100% sure. I'll read the manual. I've been wanting to play with this feature for a couple of days now. Just haven't had time to get around to it.
If you have WindowsXP, you can simply drag and drop your files and folders onto your CD burner and then click on the balloon that pops up on the bottom right to start the writing process. I think it's a much easier and quicker way of burning files straight onto cd.

I try to keep similar types of music on the same CD. I know basically what I have loaded at a given time so it's just a matter of landing on the right disc to find what suits.

CD of hip hop
CD of harder rock
CD of music both the wife and I like
CD of music I listened to in college
I write the band names directly on the CD.
