[Guest]

Can I burn more than 80 min. of mp3 music onto a CD that will play on my
factory provided car CD player? (car is a 2005 GM model) If the answeer is
yes, what progran should I use to burn?

I still have no idea what the capability of your car CD might be with
respect to MP3 CDs.

The 80 minutes limit is for AUDIO CDs. If your car player can handle
DATA CDs (limited to ~700MB) then it may be further limited to
a) MP3 files (some can also handle WMA files or other formats)
b) non-rewriteable CDs.

You can either read the manual of your car's player or make a test CD.

ok, well i may be able to help. just an idea. i have nero smart start when i
got this new pc, and it has a feature that u can test to see if u can over
burn cds, n it tells u how much by aswell. if cd-rw's work in ur car, then
lucky, if not, then it looks like ur going to have 2 waste one cdr. as
another guy suggested, some cd players play data mp3 cds and some even WMA. i
have a cd player that does, but the chances that ur normal car cd playes does
is low. u can buy a new cd player for ur car that does mp3 cds. anyway back
to nero.
u have to insert the same type of cd u plan to use, and select test cd
speed. then you select extra from the menu and it has an overburn test. i
mannaged to get an extra 4 or 5 mins. its not much. overburing actualy means
writing up 2 the edge, which may not be a grate idea, but ive needed 2 once
or twice. just dnt use it 2 back up things! lol

hope all that helps. sorry i blabber
any questions, emial me at (e-mail address removed)
