Alright, I'm not sure I follow. If I burn in Nero and I sort the MP3 song list it shows up as all the songs sorted then when I burn and I put it in another computer it still shows the order I had put them in when I burned the cd but, then when I put the cd in my car cd slot it shows them all in alphabetical order??????

Are you saying for the burn list I should put a 1,2,3 etc. next to the song name so it puts them in the order of my numbers?
Although I have Nero I find using iTunes so easy and reliable that I won't go back unless I find it cannot do something. I get exactly the order I establish in iTunes. For example I just compared one album in my CD slot and the names started with P, T, S, M, T, L, N, D the order just as I set up.

with nero - yes - that is what you have to do
or you can use letters if you want

mine are in alphbetical order - except where they have to go together - like the last songs on Abbey Road - had to number them all z1....,z2..., so they would show up at the end of the beatles playlist

Yes, the same happened to me... The only way I rsolve the problem was naming every track with the number I wanted tohear it. IE:

01 REM - Radio Song.mp3
02 MECANO - Hoy no me puedo levantar.mp3
03 ALejandro Sanz - Coraz?n partio.mp3

...
...

And so on. Then I create the disc with Nero or Roxio
The good is to hear them at random, but....

But How do you want to hear the mp3 and not your super engine???

Luck!

Thanks for the replies. That's a good idea. I guess I will just have to number all of the songs in the order I want them to play. It does seem like iTunes numbers them for you but, I need to play around with it more. I just downloaded the software and am not too sure how to use it yet but, I made a cd with 3 songs and went and tested it in my car and it had put the numbers in front of the songs for me. Probably because It's new to me and I'm used to Roxio and Nero but, iTunes doesn't seem real user friendly.
