MP3 CD to Multiple Audio CD Question..

[decker12]

Hi guys, hopefully this is an easy question for everyone.

I have a party coming up, and a hard drive filled with MP3s. Normally, I burn a MP3 CD or two and find a compatible player and viola, 12 hours of music off of a few MP3s CDs.

However, in this party coming up, there is no MP3 compatible player anywhere to be found. I'd like to take a ton of MP3s, randomize them, and burn them to multiple good old fashioned audio CDs to be put in a 5 or 6 CD changer. What I don't want to do is take those 200+ songs and play mix and match while manually I drag and drop them into a CD burning program that can only accomodate 76 minutes of music at a time.

I know that in Easy CD Creator 6, if you make a huge data CD that exceeds 700MB, it'll just queue up additional CDs and when one disk is full, asks you for another blank. I'd like to do this with music - i.e. drop a ton of MP3's onto one big playlist, randomize it, and hit Burn, and have it figure out 76 minutes of music per CD, burn, and then ask me to insert the next disk.

Is there a program out there which can do this? I know Easy CD Creator 6 won't, and neither will Nero. When I try, it just creates a single "overfilled" CD project and naturally only burns the first 76 minutes of MP3s without asking me to put in The Next Disk.

Any ideas?

How long is the party...

With MP3,u can get about 150/200 songs on 1 CD

just get a cheap DVD/MP3 player

Guys, that's not the point. The party apparently has no home stereo system that I can hook up a DVD or MP3 player to. I need to make it happen with a 5 disk regular audio CD changer, probably like a souped up boom box.

The party is also a few hours away driving distance and I am unsure of their exact specifics, other than they said they have no home theater stereo setup and only a 5 disk changer that is hooked up to a couple of speakers. So before I leave, I need to prepare for the lowest common denominator.

Regarding the original question, any other ideas?
