Try a CD+R.
Also, check if your car stereo actually supports MP3.

Search on your comp for Windows Audio Converter, if you have media center edition of xp it should be on there. I'm not sure otherwise. If not dl one somewhere. This will convert your MP3 to a standard cd format. It only takes about a min then you can burn the new formatted file onto any cd-r cd and it should work. As far as I know most car stereo's wont  support mp3 unless its a newer model.

get a new car

lol....

or it might just be that gladiators car can only play a cd with 20 or less tracks on it, and under 80 mins of total play. My cars cd player is like that as well...

else you might have some dodgy codec protection thing, in which case your better getting some new burning software, nero and windows media player are usually good enough.

ya an itrip is excellent especially if you already have an ipod.  personally i hate listening to an ipod or cd or anything like that.  its soooooo boring the only real reason i would listen to a CD or music on an ipod would be if i was incredibly bored already. even then there are better things to listen to

but ya itrip ...... works wonders.

Yeah, burning it slower usually does the trick

Hooray

Should still replace the car though

LOL

nah i like my accord ... black on black, zeon lights, tinted windows, getting black rims next month

all in all Gladiator

most newer cars will play mp3's. but it depends. it will usually SAY mp3 on the thing, whereas a regular cd player in a car will only play cd's that are burned with .wav files.

so you can put say, 140 or so songs on a cd under .mp3 or 18 songs under .wav

now, technically speaking, the 140 or so songs are considered to be FILES, whereas the 18 songs are considered to be SONGS. a cd player recognizes SONGS not FILES. a .wav file is 5 times (or more) the size of a .mp3 file which is why you have to burn it as files in order for it to put so many songs on the cd.

understand?

that's my understanding of what you're saying and what my brother once told me about .mp3, .wav, .wma, .m4a and so on.

>>nah i like my accord ... black on black, zeon lights, tinted windows, getting black rims next month<<

DIMMIT DAMMIT!!!!!!!
freaking zeon lights X( X( X(

hmm, pimped out chassis with the performance of a production line 4 cyl....

you should name it "Barack"

Buying the real CD actually works too i heard...

when you burn a cd which can take only 80 mins of audio, the format is usually wav, waveform audio file, which is similar to the old record players with their dips and hills ( same kind of incredibly inefficient system, but it includes sounds that are below 30hz and above 16k hz which mp3's can't reach ).

seriously, you can use some random program, but the absolute best is windows media player, just drag and drop a playlist onto a the picture of a cd in the top right.

Still, personally, if you are considering downloading music, I normally download a song, see if I like it, then buy the cd, idk, its like supporting a good cause like donating to IC lol ( once I get my bpay account.... )

Some people suggested burning slower, thats only an issue if you are trying to run another laggy program while burning lol, or if you really do have some dodgy cd burner.... ( its safer to get a cd/dvd burner because they are always of a high quality, just fyi )
