Have you ever wanted to be able to burn your own mp3 CD’s in itunes for use in your CD or home CD player. iTunes has had this functionality for a long time, but what many of you may not know is that iTunes also has the ability to organize your tracks into folders based on album. That way you can use the album + or album – buttons on your CD player to skip albums. It’s like haveing a CD changer even if your player only accepts one disc. The process is very simple.

Put an empty CD in your CD/DVD burner
In iTunes select File >> New Playlist (or Ctrl-N)
Click on Music and drag the songs/albums to the new playlist you created
Click on the new playlist and then click on the Album column header until it says Album by Artist [1]
Rick click on the new playlist and select Burn Play List to Disc

It’s that simple.

*If you don’t click on the Album column then the MP3 CD will be created with all of the songs in one folder.
