How to Burn an MP3 CD on a Mac
An MP3-capable CD player allows the user to create a data CD full of MP3s that can be played back, just like a regular audio CD. The benefit to this is that burning the files as a data CD, you can fit a lot more files than you can properly formatted audio files in the audio CD format. Mac OS X includes extremely easy data CD creation.

Create a new burn folder on your desktop by select "File" > "New Burn Folder" from the Finder's menu bar. Name the folder what you wish. The folder will be designated with the fallout shelter symbol.

Drag all the MP3s into this folder. OS X creates shortcuts to the actual MP3s, so you don't have to worry about messing up the folder structure and MP3 location of your music library.
