I need to make a cd that will play in a car stereo

[Daehawk]

What do I do? This is a non mp3 car stereo. Just a plain 6 disc changer. Is there a special format the songs or cd must be in? What do I need and do? I have Nero and can grab any free burning stuff online like BurnXP and such.

I need to test a car stereo player out and dont want to risk having one of my good cds jam up in it.

I dont have Nero installed on my new pc but used it on an old one.

When selecting the media to burn to pick music/audio cd and not data cd. Not sure of the exact wording. Then don't go over 700mb or whatever the CD limit is. Nero will convert the mp3 back to whatever cd's use automatically.

Ahhh ok. Thank you. I saw that option but thought it would just put the mp3s themselves on there. Glad to hear it auto converts them. I guess I can just copy a music cd straight to it like that too?

[MonkeyFinger]

Yup.

Cool thanks.

The only thing I can add is that some car CD players are little sensitive to the CD type...also for me burning at a low speed helps as well.

Well I burned it at 48x but I did use a Sony audio 80 min cd. only put 5 songs on it for testing.

and it works?  Good for you if it did   My car stereo literally likes the CD to be burned no faster 4x.  Otherwise, if I go at 48x, it would sometimes skip and get confused thinking that tracks are blank.

I dont know. Never gto a chance to test it in the car stereo.
