1 track/CD sounds ridiculous to me. I'd burn as many as you can fit onto a disc, and make 2 copies if you are unsure what order you'll want them in.
i burn mp3s to Audio CDs, i believe i'm revolutionary

i believe around 8 tunes per CD should be the maximum, when you burn more tunes per one, you're starting to limit yourself when mixng (if you don't burn doubles that is) and if you burn less, you quickly run out of cd's and space in the wallet, it's up to you to find the balance.

Yup agree with the previous. I used NERO for that for one reason... I could burn 2(or more) copy of the same CD at the same time, big time saver in the past. You just need the full version od the software and, in an ideal world, 2 (or more) CD burner of he same brand/model.

I burn cd's organized by artist. Two copies of each are burned. I print the album artwork and place it in the case with the cd. Coming from digging through crates of vinyl, this has made the transition easier.

ooh i never thought of burning a CD in the same Key,

I always do same genre, and low speeds.

It's not just how many tracks you burn per cd, but also what tracks you burn too. I imagine I would probably burn my cd's in Key & genre, so one cd is in one key, and the next in another and so on, but in the same genre. And doubles of each cd also.

I try to get 10 tracks on each disc and keep two copies of each. I always burn at a rather slow speed, x4, but I can't for sure say it's necessary.

Search around on youtube for interviews with big name djs and they usually do one release per cd, up to four tracks max.

If you want the bottom line, here's my advice - do that method if you are getting paid for gigs and if you have time for it. Because trust me, that stuff takes time (labeling/printing, burning, and even picking the right cd brand-taiyo yuden) If not, I suggest doing all audio discs with 8-10 tracks max on each disc, and even that gets cumbersome.

In the end, I just use Traktor with control discs and deal with using a laptop (I hate it).

As said above. As many tracks as you can squeeze on a CD, and burn 2 of them so you can mix and mash between them. I also use printable CD's and a CD printer for printing track-listings on the cd's.
