Hey I'm trying to burn a cd with a bunch of mp3s on them, but I already have a list of the mp3s as an winamp playlist file (.m3u). Is there a way about burning these to disc without having to select each song and drag it into Nero, for instance? I'm not trying to make an audio cd, it's just a cd of mp3s for my Rio Volt. Basically, I don't know how I would go about doing this unless I can make some kind of file from the existing m3u I have that Nero or another burning prog can use to cue up the mp3s? Sorry if this is confusing. Basically, I need to burn a list of songs that I already have on a playlist, what's the easiest way? Thanks.

Hm... Ok, if I understand you correctly... I don't think there's a way to burn songs directly from a playlist... A playlist just makes it easier to access songs, but that's about it. It doesn't include the songs in itself, just has shortcuts, if you will. Are you trying to burn mp3's like a backup but not in audio cd form so that you can stick your cd in your comp and double click on the mp3's in your cd?

yea, i realize that a playlist is just a list of the file paths. the reason i want to burn a cd with mp3s is because the rio volt is a cd mp3 player that reads mp3 files. it'd be so much easier this way because i wouldn't have to rummage through all my mp3s again to make say a 150 song cdr. i thought there might be a way seeing as you can save cd layouts in Adaptec easy cd creator and Nero, so maybe I could edit the layout somehow. I tried opening a nero one in notepad and it had unreadable chars so i don't think this will work. anyone else have a suggestion or should i just bite the bullet and start selecting songs 1 by 1? thanks.
