how to index large mp3 trax for use in mp3 player

Hello,

I'm a noob on this forum and i'm trying to find out how to burn a MP3 disc for use in an mp3 car audio player.
I've got several audiomixes (30 minutes) which i'd like to play without gaps between the trax but WITH indexnumbers so i can skip to the good parts without having to fast forward to it.

I've heard from .cue files and tried to make a cd (using subdirs) with a cue file like so:

[Megamix compilation]
| \
| [Megamix 2000] --- [Megamix2000.MP3]
| \__[Megamix2000.cue]
\
\
\
[Megamix 2001] --- [Megamix 2001.MP3]
\__[Megamix 2001.cue]

The cuefiles for the [megamix2000] for example look like this:

TITLE "(Ultimate Megamix2000)"
FILE "Megamix2000.MP3" MP3
TRACK 01 AUDIO
TITLE "(Track 01)"
INDEX 01 04:45:13
TRACK 02 AUDIO
TITLE "(Track 02)"
INDEX 01 07:12:61
TRACK 03 AUDIO
TITLE "(Track 03)"
INDEX 01 11:31:26
TRACK 04 AUDIO
TITLE "(Track 04)"
INDEX 01 14:51:24
TRACK 05 AUDIO
TITLE "(Track 05)"
INDEX 01 19:02:05
TRACK 06 AUDIO
TITLE "(Track 06)"
INDEX 01 22:12:06
TRACK 07 AUDIO
TITLE "(Track 07)"
INDEX 01 24:50:27
TRACK 08 AUDIO
TITLE "(Track 08)"
INDEX 01 26:55:38
TRACK 09 AUDIO
TITLE "(Track 09)"
INDEX 01 30:12:26

I've put the cuefiles in the same directory on the cd as the corresponding mp3 file using same names.
When I burn this cd and play it in the car, it turns out that it plays only 2 track on the album :

Megamix 2000 (30 minutes nonstop)
Megamix 2001 (30 minutes nonstop)

Why aren't these files indexed by the corresponding cue files?
The 2000 mix alone should have 9 indexes.

Could anyone help me with this one?
I screwed up plenty cd-r's trying to fix this.
