How can I have nero burn songs in the order I want it too? When I select files to burn, nero automatically lists them in alphabetical order.

Are you buring a Audio CD or simply putting mp3 files on a disc?


If you are buring a audio CD then you can just drag the tracks around in the Audio CD window to get them in the order you want.

If you are buring mp3 files to a disc whatever you are using to play them will have to sort them. Its not possible to burn them to the disc in a specific order (and even if you did, whatever you played them with would not play them in that order)
 
yeah its an mp3 disc... thats soo messed up that you can order them!
 
Here's a little trick that I use for burning with Nero to get things in the order that I want.

When you drag-n-drop into Nero, Nero sorts the files by filename alphanumerically. Nero uses this to create the TOC for the disc. This is a one-shot operation. That's why you can't play with the order.

To get around this, order the files BEFORE you drag-n-drop them into Nero.

I set up a little working directory and then append a numerical prefix to the filename like this.

First, the files as they would normally appear in my list...

Code:
  Chris Isaac - Wicked Game.ogg
  Einsturzende Neubauten - Der Haus der Leuge.ogg
  KMFDM - WWIII.ogg
  Skold - Hail Mary.ogg
  Type O Negative - Black No1.ogg

Notice that they are alphabetized by letter by default in the list.

To order them differently, throw a numeric prefix before each one

Code:
   01_Skold - Hail Mary.ogg
   02_KMFDM - WWIII.ogg
   03_Chris Isaac - Wicked Game.ogg
   04_Einsturzende Neubauten - Der Haus der Leuge.ogg
   05_Type O Negative - Black No1.ogg

I would make this change in a directory somewhere on my hard disk.
Then I would drag and drop this into Nero to make my MP3 CD.

For me, this is important because the CD player in my truck also parses through the directories alphanumerically. You may have to make subtle changes to how you actually pull this off, but this is the basic idea.

Buring them in physically different order on the disc would do nothing. The ISO 9660 filesystem calls for files to be sorted alphabetically. As such any device capable of reading a standard data disc will sort alphabetically.

Putting a number at the begining of the file as svet-am suggested will allow you to control the order in which they are sorted :)
