I downloaded some music with Kazaa most of which is in
MP3 format. I've played it on other CD players but the
CD player which is built into my car won't play it. How
can I change the format to what the car will recognize?
I have several apps on my computer that can burn CD's,
like RealOne Player, Sonic Stage, and Windows Media
Player. I've tried them all but can't find a way to
convert the music to different formats.

Any help would be great but I'm a real dummy when it
comes to computers so I need real simple instructions,
type slow...........:-)

2 things :

1) If you burned a data disk of mp3's some/most car players can't read
them (check your player specs sheet)

2) Some car players can't read CD-R's or RW's. Again check your player
specs.

FYI in order to burn a CD you should only use 1 application ALL the time -
there are some that can't co-exist with others. You should choose which ever
you prefer and then (if its not WMP) turn off the Burning ROM service.
(Re-post if you need help to do that).

Cheers,

Robin, I did the same thing several times, but then I figured that the amount
of time recorded on my computers cd (80 min.) seldom matched whatever system
was in th car (60 min.). Next when I recorded off my PC, I made sure to keep
it under 60 minutes, and when playing in my car or elsewhere, the recording
came through loud & clear.

That makes no sense whatsoever. I have several burned CDs with running times of
79:55 or more that play fine in any player I put them in. If you are creating
an audio disc, and not an MP3 disc, then I would suggest burning at a slower
speed. 12x should be fine, but never fast than 24x.
