Audio CD

[raguvun]

I have some music cd that has extension .mp3 and will play on my computer but if I use the cd on a home music center with a buit in cd player or try to play in the car, it won't play. Does anybody know why that happens or is there a way to record it into the extension that will play in the car?

Its the quality of the CDR - buy quality named makes (they're thicker) like TDK.

An 'ordinary' CD player doesn't play MP3 files. The CDs you buy in the shops are in a special format, where the tracks don't exist as single files. (If you put one into your computer the tracks will appear to be labelled with the 'cda' file suffix but those 'files' are actually only shortcuts which direct the CD player to the right place in the composite data).

So you can't convert the files, per se. However you can use the 'create audio CD' function within the disk burning program on your PC. Simply select the relevant MP3 files and the software should convert them as it burns the disk.

You'll need to remember that MP3 files are heavily compressed. Converting them back for use on a 'normal' CD will mean that you'll be able to fit far fewer onto a CD. The maximum playing time (including the pauses between tracks) can't exceed 74 minutes. In practice it's best to burn CDs which use up slightly less than the theoretical maximum time.

if you are determined get a new player in your car that is MP3 compatible

alternatively ... an MP3 player with a fm transmitter will do the same job

my toyota came with one that does ...
my same year vauxhall didn't

or you could just try thicker CDs roflmao
not just the CDs that are thick....

My DVD player will play CDs with .mp3 music.
I believe most if not all will/should.

your music player does not support the files format of the CD. may be your songs is saved in different format .

may be your CD is write in different format so that your CD player is not supporting . try another one.
