I just burned a small (60 song) CD-rw of mp3's, and am a little annoyed with the menu that my ps3 provides when accessing and playing songs back.

Is there any way to cause the ps3 to bypass the artist folder, and the album name folder, and simply give a list of the songs on the cd that will be viewable while listening to playback(i.e. see what songs are next)?

I'm guessing that there is a way to burn the cd from WMP11 to only include the artist name and track title and NOT the album?

As is, to play a song on my ps3 I must:
select "data disc" from under the music icon--->select "music"--->scroll through and select the artist folder--->select the "album" folder--->finally it shows the song to play....VERY annoying. Also, once the song is over, it does not begin play of the next song b/c there are no more in that particular folder.

Any help would be great. Sorry for the simple issue.:o

Thnaks for the help Zbuff. However, this is a data disc of mp3's, so depending on where I am in the menu, pressing triangle only offers: play, copy, delete, and information.

I have noticed that the last 16 songs on the disc do NOT have seperate "folders" for album and/or song title info. in other words, pressing X begins playback instead of showing the album info. Also, while one of the last 16 songs is playing, the bottom right of the screen where track time is displayed, there is an indicator as to what song number out of 16 is currently in playback(i.e. 2/16).

I take it this is a folder issue, but I don't know what needs to be done to eliminate the "album" folder and/or put all of the songs in the same folder?:confused::(

So I've noticed that the songs that play continuously are the songs in my WMP11 that DO NOT have any ALBUM info, and that the WMP11/PS3 must automatically organize the folders by album so that those songs with NO album info are sorted into the same folder.

Is there any way to tell the PS3 or WMP11 how to sort songs/files/folders?
