I agree with Hamrah, give iTunes a shot. It may not have some of the fancy options that other programs have, but it is very easy to copy a CD to the computer, create your own playlist and then burn it to CD again. It can also import any MP3 on your computer. The newest version also includes Apple's lossless encoding, so you can save some hard drive space, but not loose quality like you do with MP3s.
