Creating indexes is not that difficult or time consuming and can be very useful. It would be quicker to do it at the time of the recording but there are other ways IF certain things are in place. If the correct IDs are burned to the CD the titles can be read by various programs and pasted to a spreadsheet or database. I use Acoustica which is relatively inexpensive and Media Monkey which is freeware. Media Monkey creates a report to Excel and several other programs. In Acoustica I read the CD, copy the track names and paste to Excel. I would expect other labeling programs to do the same thing. If you are using Nero, you can save the Nero files. Acoustica will read those Nero files providing track names which can be copied and pasted. Check with whatever burning and labeling programs you are using and see what the capabilities may be. My personal rule has been to type the track artist and titles one time and have the software allow me to make labels and indexes. Media Monkey has simplified the tag writing over other programs I tried before discovering MM.
