If I recall correctly, it's a folder called *Music* which itself is
inside the *Media* folder.

There doesn't have to be, but it makes managing your music just a bit easier

This is what the included "Creative Mediasource Organizer" program is
good for.
What you should do is make a folder for each CD, and put those folders
in the Zen's "Music" folder. Then, fire up the Mediasource Organizer
program, which you can use to make a "playlist". A playlist is a file
which tells the player what order to play the tracks in. A playlist can
also be used to play songs from one folder and then some from another
folder. I can tell you in detail how to make a playlist if you'd like.
