How to put more than 1 album on a cd?

I'm trying to put together a CD for a friend of some live concerts (all legal from the Metallica website) and was wondering what the best way of this would be. I've got Nero 7 installed and i'm not sure whether to do a compilation type thing using the Jukebox CD function, or whether it's easier (and better) to do it as a data disc (if this is possible).

Any suggestions would be most welcome.

    This all depends on what is being used to play the tracks.

    If the player can play MP3 then you can make a data disk and copy the files across to the CD.

    If not then using Nero7 you must create an Audio CD then drag the tracks across. You will be limited to about a max of 15-20 tracks with this method.

    I think he's planning on putting them on his laptop and then onto a SD card to play in his car.

    Then a Data CD is the way forward,
    A standard CD is 700MB in size so you should fit near 155 MP3s (4.5 meg average).
