How do I tell iTunes to organize my mp3 CD by folders?

Hi,
I've been trying to burn an mp3 cd for a while now, and while I can get the CD to burn just fine, I cannot seem to get iTunes to organize my songs into folders based on Album. WHen the burned CD appears in the iTunes finder, it appears as one CD, with no folders, and in my car CD player (which is capable of playing an mp3 CD with folders), everything just appears in the "Root" folder. How can I configure iTunes to burn folders onto the mp3 CD as well, or if not, do you know of any programs that I can use that will burn folders? Thanks.

P.S. Please do not direct me to the iTunes support page that tells me how to burn an mp3 CD and organize it by Song, Album, and Artist. I've already seen it and I've already tried everything it told me to do, to no avail.

Hi JMJedi,

This sounds beyond the scope of what iTunes is currently designed to provide.

Perhaps a good feature request at:

Hope this helps,

Do you mean this article -> http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60931 ?

Works for me.

You could just use Windows Explorer (or just about anything) and copy the folders to a CD and burn it.
An MP3 CD is nothing special. It's simply a regular data CD with MP3 files on it. That is exactly how iTunes burns it.
