What do you mean by "if you can create music files?" Of course you can, you can rip your CDs to mp3 files by many different means, many of which are free.

MP3 files have ID tags built into them which have song title, artist and album information in them. If you rip them yourself from your own CDs you can choose to leave those tags empty. Then the Reader should simply play them in sequence, so you can name the files with a numerical prefix, something like:
001 Layla.mp3

But if there is an IDtag with the song title in it, even if the file is labeled as above, if the IDtag says "Layla" it will be played near the start of the L song files, not as the first song.

You can get an MP3 tag editor and change the song titles in the tags to have a numerical prefix and get them to play in that sequence because that's how the Reader will list them.
