How do I burn multiple playlists onto cd

Hello all,

I just bought a new car and the stereo plays mp3 CDs. It has a feature where you can select and play an individual playlist from the cd. So there might be seven playlists on the CD (e.g., playlist one is Beatles, playlist 2 is Rolling Stones, etc.). Does anyone know if and how one can burn more than one playlist onto a CD using iTunes?. Please keep in mind that I want to keep the playlists separate on the CD. Thanks in advance.

iTunes doesn't burn the playlist info to a CD. It simply burns the songs on a playlist to a CD.
You can burn the songs in groups in one of three ways.

If you sort the playlist by song, it burns one directory will all songs.
If you sort by Album, it will put all song in an album in an album folder.
if you sort by Artist, it will put the song in an Album folder which is inside an Artist folder.

Then on the CD player, you should be able to scroll thru the Albums or Artist.
