Make a music mix for burning on audio disc - software?

(1/3) > >>

tomos:
I think something along these line was discussed not so long ago but I couldnt find it.

I want to make a few mixes from mp3 files, and burn to CD (audio disc) - all on Windows 7.
On XP I used use Media Jukebox from JRiver (http://www.jriver.com/mj/) but i heard some dodgy reports here lately about it messing up tags (and even though it had a very easy GUI, I found it usable but buggy - that was about a year ago, I cant remember the version number but older than current).
Also on XP I briefly tried Media Monkey - I couldnt (figure out how to) do anything on it, but if you really recommend it I'll try again :)
Skwire's Trout is my player - but I even use that very little.

So what I need is a player where:

* I can select the files
* sort them manually
* create my mix
* then (if possible) I could burn from within the player - if not:
* I could use nero express to burn (or you're welcome to recommend something there too!)

MilesAhead:
Tutorial shows how to create playlist with WinAmp. I thought WinAmp also had audio CD burning but I couldn't find details on it:

So I guess you can use anything that lets you order the playlist manually.

CDBurnerXP will preserve playlist order for Audio CD but not for a Data CD with .mp3 files.
However if you select Audio Disc from the start dialog it will automatically convert .mp3 or .flac to audio and then burn an Audio CD.

techidave:
can't you do all that with Windows Media Player?

wow, it looks to me like I can do it all from within cdburnerxp -
it has a (very basic i.e. play/pause) audio player (only seems to work from the context menu, which is fine once you figure that out), I can drag files to a list and sort manually. Will let you know if successful :)

On second thoughts, if I'm going to do this more than once, I'm really going to need a decent player to move around/listen to the tracks properly ;-)


Re Winamp -
free version will burn @ 2X - I like burning slow for better quality, but that's too much :)
[edit]  but as you suggest in combination with winamp could be good [/edit]
