I found that the most impractical thing with these was that the user interface for selecting songs was typically "you have 200 songs and I'm gonna play them in sequence, if you want a particular song you must skip ahead until you hear it". It worked for a 12-track audio CD, but felt like an underdeveloped toy feature when used with MP3:s.
That all depended on the player though. I had a car stereo that played MP3 CDs that was able to see folder and navigate folder structure on the CDs. It was great, if your music was already organized in folders, by album for example.
My desktop stereo system, however, only saw the individual .mp3 files and did like you described. It was much more of a pain, but I usually just played from a computer in winamp (rip).
