My experience has been:

The order of the directories on the CD might not be what you think it
is.

The order of the files in the directory might not be what you think it
is.

"Random" play might well not work very well with directories.

(I find random is normally tolerable on "one big directory with all the
files in" CD's.)

Oh: and I tend to use xcdroast or k3b to burn.

TRy it and see. Simplest trick: number the files
01_Artist_Album_TrackName
02_Artist_Album_TrackName
03_Artist_Album_TrackName
...

cheers, Rich.
