Default burning mp3 cds with artist title and song name?

How can I accomplish this? I've tried burning mp3 cds through Windows Media Player..but all I get is Track 1, Track 2, Track 3, etc. The title and everything is already set in windows. How do I get it so I can see who is singing and what is playing on my 08 is350(navi)? Thanks guys

hey
we'll i burnt mine using Roxio, and in that you can drag files into the Roxio window, then just rename the artist and song name

only the song name comes up, unless you change the "song name" into for example
Tupac - When Thugs Cry
instead of just
When Thugs Cry

you can also, order the songs in anyway u want
but its better to make a data disc instead of a audio disc cuz then with the data disc u can fit over 100 songs on ONE CD

I believe you can just burn the mp3s as a data cd using windows or with a program such as Nero Burning Rom. The nav should display the file name of the music files. That is if your filenames reflect the song artist and title, and are not named Track 1.mp3, Track 2.mp3, etc. Or at least that's how it works for me on my 06 navi.

On iTunes I burn them as audio cds and choose the option to include song info or song name, they play and display the titles.

Yes I concur that iTunes knows how to properly set up an MP3 disc.

Sounds like your mp3's ID3 is all jacked up. ID3 is the metadata on mp3 files like Title, artist, song, etc. Totally different from the file name itself. So the culprit of why you are getting "Track X" could be your burning software or the mp3s' ID3.

A quick way to check the ID3 data is to right click on your mp3 > properties > Summary tab > Advanced

I used audio cds for burning my purchased songs off itunes but itunes also has the option for individual eq and gain settings for each song. Itunes and nero practically are equivalent. Now I just use my ipod with my dice kit and couldn't be happier haha.
