Making mp3 cd's and dvd-audio...PLEASE HELP!!!

Hi people,
I am having problems making mp3 cd's and dvd-audio dvd's as well.
First off i tried making an mp3 cd with roxio toast 7 titanium. I put in about 140 songs but when i take the cd to play in my car (it plays mp3 cd's) it only shows about 60.
What I realized is that alot of my songs in itunes are in mpeg 4 format or aaic format.
Is there a simple way to transfer all my songs in itunes into mp3 format. I tried through itunes and the probelm is that it just copies the song into mp3 format and so i have duplicats and have to scroll through all the songs to see which one is which...
Now i tried making a music dvd through roxio toast 7 titanium and first off all it takes about 2-3 hours and it has always messed up. I get a message about an hour or so into the burning process saying something like " buffer underun sense key error....". So I havent managed to do it. And I don't even know if a music dvd is actually a dvd-audio.
Can anyone please refer a program or something that might make this task easy. And if anyone knows what this error message is please let me know.
You see I just bought a car that plays mp3 cd's and dvd-audio dvd's and i'm goin nuts here cause i can't do either or.
Please any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

The visual that appears on screen while a song is playing is the still image you've placed with that track, three lines of text describing the track name, artist and album, and a header line of text. The background art, font, and frame for the still image is determined by which of the 10 design themes you chose for the music DVD. I like the snapshot theme.

There is nothing else that can be displayed while the track is playing.

I've just attempted this and the only way I could do it was to use Miraizon's Cinematize. Cinematize can automatically save separate AIFF audio-only files from individual chapters on a video DVD (regardless of DVD's audio format). It's a cool feature of Cinematize. However, the tracks won't have their correct names. You'll have to rename everything. And if you don't want AIFF files you'll need to have iTunes convert them to AAC, MP3 or Apple Lossless.
