m3u playlists to mp3-CD

Many CD burning programs offer the possibillity to import the data of m3u files to burn audio CDs. (as does Burrrn, Nero,...).

But I have very long Playlists (50 songs +) and would like to burn the songs of the PL for my MP3-Discman. Is there any special program or a trick (Nero?) to do that??

Doesn't your Discman support m3u playlists?
iRiver players do.

You want to burn your MP3 in an specific order to be played, am I correct?
I don't know if this can be done without changing the filenames themselves (that is, if your player does not support playlists natively)

No, I want just to burn my playlist selection (=the songs of my playlist) burnt to CD, not the m3u file itself.

The order doesn't matter (as I know it's not possible to burn data cds in a particular order, that's one of the yellow book limitations).

But if I have a special Jazz playlist, I want to easily burn all songs from this special playlist to a (data=MP3) CD. Can it be done?

Here's a thread containing some information how to 'abuse' foobar2000 to create copies of all files in your playlist in a temp folder. Then just burn all files from this folder to a data CD (obviously).

Google told me to try M3U Playlist Copier. Seems helpful ...

OK, did a lot of research by myself.

nero 6 can't do it, but....
nero express 6 can!!
From Nero Express, just select NEW MP3 CD and click Add...Open ur m3u file from there and voila!

I have found 4 ways to do this.
1.  QCD with Nero plug-in, but you do need a recent and full version of Nero5.5.  Works very well for flat structure (i.e. no subdirectories on the CD).
2.  Again use QCD to load the playlist, then drag the contents from the QCD playlist into any CD burning package window.  This is the best and most flexible method I have found and works well with Nero 5.5.
3.  Use Nero Express which has a MP3 disc format which allows you to import m3u playlists.  I have only used Nero 5.5 and this works very well.
4.  Use iTunes to burn a flat structure mp3 disc where all the tracks get renamed to preserve the playlist order.  (Caution - iTunes 4.1.1 still appears to have many CD burning problems for some people.)
