How do I copy my MP3 folder (3 gigs worth) to CDRW?

I want to back up "My Music" folder that contains 3 gigs of MP3's to CDRW. I have a Plextor 12/10/32A CDRW and want to span this folder. It is for backup only. I have Nero 5.5, and Norton Ghost. What is the easiest way to do this?
 
mp3 files are already highly compressed so there's very little point in trying to compress them further -- like Damascus says just burn 5-6 CDs or CDRWs of the files in alphabetical order.
 
Added bonus for putting the MP3's on to disc directly, you can play the files straight
off the CD. But if you're really intent on making an image, I believe Ghost has an option
to span images > 650MB in size.
 
I don't think that Ghost is the right program for this -- I suggest WinRAR instead, set compression level to "Store", and set the spanning to about 650,000 KB. That ought to do it.

Or simply drag as many MP3s as will fit onto each CD!!! That's the best way to go!
