    Sorry, but jukebox CDs are definitely a feature of Roxio Creator 10. I have six such CDs in one of my cars. They all have 10 or 11 full albums on them. The problem is that I have yet to discover if this feature is still available in later Roxio Creator versions. I have a query with Roxio at the moment.

    Unfortunately the latest version of Win 10 has killed jukeboxing and I cannot reinstall the software.

    MP3 is not involved.
    So, one of your car's stereo's can read data discs and the other can't?
    Have I assumed this correctly?

    I assume that software is, basically, converting audio files into data files...

    To get 10 or 11 full albums on a CD, then standard CDDA - Compact Disk Digital Audio is NOT INVOLVED either. The CDs that you were creating with the "jukebox" feature of Creator is a data disk, not a Compact Disk Digital Audio - standard CD - disk. And that is why the discs would not universally play in all CD players. They would only play in CD players capable of reading data disks as well as CDDA standard audio CDs.

    There are tons of programs out there that will create these "jukebox" data CDs including the plain old built in Windows Media Player. The following menu item in Windows Media Player is what turns your standard data CD into your "jukebox" CD:

    You are confusing the name "Jukebox" with what is actually being created, which as we have been trying to tell you is MP3 (data) discs.

    I don't think I need to be told anything. Roxio calls them Jukebox CDs, so that's what I call them. I am still awaiting a reply from them as to whether later versions of their software still make these discs. If they don't, I will give up and listen to an iPod in one of my cars but not in the other.

    It doesn't matter what they are called, and Roxio calls them "Jukebox CD's" what we are trying to tell you is the actual type of CD you have, which is MP3's. There are two types of "Audio" CD's, conventional audio CD's that use the Red Book standard 16 bit/44.1Khz wav files and (compressed) MP3 audio CD's that use MP3 audio files.

    There are many other, Windows 10 compatible, CD burner programs that will create the equivalent to the Roxio Jukebox CD's. Roxio is not the only program that will create them. From your original post we thought you were looking for another program to make those CD's. Apparently we were wrong.

    OK. Then I am looking for a simple alternative to the Roxio software. With it, all one needs to do is to add names of albums until it says the CD is full and then burn it. I have tried to find an alternative to the Roxio program without success.

    If the music on your computer are already .MP3 files, then these are already DATA files.
    When you created an Audio disc of MP3 files in Roxio or any other CD burning software, it converts the MP3 files to CDDA files or standard Audio format for CD's, which can be played on any CD player, (ie) computer, car, home stereo, boom box.
    The "Jukebox" feature is just creating a standard DATA disc. The "feature" is that it will convert all audio files in your play list (ie) MP3, MP4, WAV .FLAKetc to MP3 Before burning them.
    If your files are already .MP3 then burn them as a DATA disc.
    A very simple a free CD burning program is CDBurnerXP. In the wizard, put a blank CD-R in and choose Data disc, drag your music files from the Explorer type menu on the upper left panel, and drag them to the bottom panel. You will see a progress bar showing how full the disc is getting.
    If your car stereo says it Plays MP3's this disc will play in that player. But not a standard CD player.
