Burning CDs with song titles means that you no longer have to refer to the CD case.

Burning a CD with song titles is useful if you own a CD player that displays CD text. You won't need to print out a track listing, since you can read the titles on your stereo's digital screen. Creating song titles on your CD burning software program helps you to manage and file your digital music easier so that when it comes to burning other CDs it is a whole lot easier.
