And does having a lot slow down loading time?

If you have multiple albums by the same band, which way is the better way to burn them:


A.

CD
.Band A
..First Album
..Second Album
..Third Album
.Band B
..First Album
..Second Album

B.

CD
.Band A First Album
.Band A Second Album
.Band A Third Album
.Band B First Album
.Band B Second Album

Or do you not sort the songs by album and just do:

C

CD
.Band A
.Band B

jyoung is an unknown quantity at this point
if you want to listen to it, on an oem cd player or something then file folders aren't going to work. if your not worried about that, folders don't take up much space, like 1kb or something, but you would have to navigate through those to actually play the music on a comp. unless cd mp3 players can handle folders now. not sure.

I just googled pioneer HUs and someone said that the way your HU will organize them is put all the highest level folders first, then the second level...

If that's true, B would be the best. Give it a try, see how it goes. I personally like A, but I've never tried more than one level of folders still

If your mp3 player can play CDRW's, then try every way and see what ya like. If not, do some research and find out what the HU can do and go from there. Good luck

BTW, JVC can hold as many as you want as well.
