If you want to listen to your MP3s in your car or on your home stereo, you have to burn an audio-CD or MP3-CD/DVD, and then put it in your MP3/CD/DVD player. Burning an audio-CD can be done very easily and quickly with any CD/DVD burning software (e.g. Nero). For example, Nero allows you to drag your M3U playlist from file browser onto audio-compilation window. The MP3 files from the playlist are automatically converted to wave format, and songs are ordered exactly as in your playlist. After dragging a playlist, you can burn your audio-CD with a simple click on a button.

Making an MP3-CD/DVD is much better solution because you can burn 150 songs on one CD or 1000 songs on one DVD. But, compiling an MP3-CD/DVD can be really frustrating and longlasting task if you use standard CD/DVD burning software like Nero, because you cannot import or drag M3U playlist onto MP3-compilation, like when you make an audio-CD. The only way is to add MP3s one by one to your MP3-compilation from file browser. Suppose you have M3U playlist with 140 songs which are located on your hard disk in various folders, and you want to burn these songs onto a CD in same order as they exist in the playlist. First, you open your burning software (e.g. Nero), then you select to create a new MP3 CD (or a Data CD, if you use an older version). Since the playlist contains songs from various folders, you have to open the playlist in Notepad to see the file name and file path of each song (unless you know by heart where each MP3 is located on your hard disc). You should arrange Notepad and Nero window side by side, so they are both visible. Then, you read the file name/path of the first song in the Notepad window. Then you switch to Nero, locate in file browser the first MP3 file, and add it to the compilation. Then you switch to Notepad, see a file name/path of the next mp3 song, then you switch to Nero, locate that mp3 in browser and add it to the compilation etc. You must repeat this procedure for each file (140 times!). It will take you at least a half of hour! The worst is that you cannot order songs in the compilation the way you want because the Windows file system always sorts songs alphabetically, so if you want songs to be burned and played on CD in desired order you must rename each file in compilation by prefixing file names with numbers (001, 002...). It may take a whole day until you finish making your MP3-compilation properly, especially if you're making a compilation for a DVD!

Fortunately, here is the MP3 Compilation Creator which does all that automatically! With MP3 Compilation Creator creating an MP3 compilation is really fast and easy! All you have to do is: open the MP3 Compilation Creator, create or open your m3u playlist, and then click on "Create Comp", and you are done!!! Your compilation will be automatically created in desired folder. Now you need to open your favourite CD burning software, and burn that folder onto your CD! That's it! It couldn't be easier! The songs will be burned and played on your CD in exact order as in your M3U playlist! After burning you can delete the compilation's folder on your hard disk.

The user interface is simple and intuitive, allowing you to perform actions fast and efficient. Everything is visible in main window. There are no unnecessary commands, options, or graphical details, so you don't have to be a computer wizard to know how to use the program!

The main window is divided into 3 sections: MP3 Browser, MP3 Playlist and MP3 Player. On the left side is MP3 Browser, where you can browse/search mp3 files and playlists stored on your computer. On the right side is MP3 Playlist. You can drag mp3/m3u/pls files and folders from Browser to Playlist section, and arrange desired track order. On the bottom is MP3 Player with strandard buttons and slides. You can right-click on the Browser/Playlist to open a pop-up menu. Also, you can use the shortcut keys.
