im trying to download music to put on a cd but they all seem to be mp3s and my car stereo wont play them is thetre any other way of changing the format so theyll play

What are you using to put the MP3s onto CD?
How Old is the stereo you're using?
What kind of CD are you using?


It seems odd that a stereo wont play a cd cos of its content, especially in a music sense. I use ITunes to collect my MP3s into a playlist, then burn them onto a blank CD-R or a CD-RW. My old stereo in the Micra wouldnt play CD-RW, but CD-Rs are completely fine.


Blank DVDs cannot be used for stereos though unfortunately

its just a sony xplod it plays copys but it wont play mp3s and when i download the songs off limewire there all mp3s and put them on to a cd they wont play

burn then in nero or power2go etc as an audio cd (CDDA) and not a data or mp3 cd. A way to verify it is burning them as an audio cd is to check the disc capacity indicator, on an audio cd it will be minutes (usually about 74, 80, 90 or 99, dependent on the cd legnth) instead of megabytes and each track will be the playtime instead of filesize. sorry of my phone atm so cnt go any further into it lol.

ok nice one lad
