What I do is the following for burning: make a new folder call it "My Burns" Use the copy function and copy the songs into the new folder to be burned. make sure they are in all MP3 format and important that you 'data burn them.' and not MP3 burn them because if you then then you will lose all your IDE tag info on the music files. You will end up wth 2 copies of each song but after the burn, you can delete those files from the burn folder. are you storing your songs in LW shared folder? What I also do is make a additional 'my music' folder on my desktop. and move some of the songs from LW into the music folder.
