thanks..i've tried searching everywhere. there is an option to arrange your own playlist, but even when i do that, it burns the cd in alphabetical order. at least i think. when i play back the burned cd on my computer, it plays in the correct order, but when i put it in my mp3 player, it goes back to alphabetical. i'm getting around it by prefacing each filename with a number, which is a royal pain, but it gets the job done...
