Albums without MP3 files will be skipped. If there are MP3 files which you did not put into an album, you will find them in the album Various with album number 0. Various is the first album that will be played. How to make a CD-ROM with MP3 Use your computer´s CD burner to record ("burn") the music files from your hard disc on a CD-ROM.
