MP3 CDs won't work in car stereo

Create a PL in iTunes of only mp3's that you want to listen to in your car.
Go to iTunes prefs>Advanced>Burning and select MP3 CD.
Select the PL and then the burn button.

Are you using CD-R media? CD-RW will not work.

Have you tried other mp3 disks that you did not burn in the CD changer? Will the mp3 CD play in your computer or home DVD player?

Is your QuickTime up to date? v7.1.3 not that it should make any difference.

Data disks are not going to work in car CD player.

Have you tried another brand of CD-R?

Does the iTunes mp3 burn play in your computer?

Have you tried to play other mp3's disks in your car that you did not burn?

I have this problem too, but only after the ITunes update from 7 to 7.0.1. Befoure this update i'll burned many MP3 CD-R and CD-RW and my radio car can read this format too and without problem.
Now, after the ITunes update, with the same kind of CD-R and really the same CD-RW, my radio car can't read and tell me and error. After many time tryed to forced read the CD, sometime go on, but between MP3 song have lot of dificulty to read the next song but without go on error, only if i' put the CD in pause then go on error. With the old MP3 CD and CD-RW made and burned with ITunes 7, the radio car listen regulary and fast without problem.

Now, wath's happen? I never change nothing, I use the same CD kind, maybe the problem is the update? How can I back? can I trash from my library the ITunes preference for change somethings? Now I have a lot of CD to trash too and few time to spent more.


QuickTime7.1.3 ok
The MP3 CD run everywere,
but now (after the update) not in the radio car.
(I'll try all setting too and WITH THE SOME MP3 just burnered befoure the update without listen problem of radio car reading!)

Thanks for every kind of help.

I made this try with Nero on a PC Windows XP:

I transfer on LAN the MP3 files codified with iTunes 7
and MP3 files codified with iTunes 7.0.1, with my G5, to my laptop XP Windows and I burn a CD with Nero Express 6. Then I try it, the MP3 CD run well in the radio car but the song codified with iTunes 7.0.1 have some problem to begin, so much time must pass before beginning like 20 seconds or more. The problems appear only on radio cars.


Thanks

Hello.
I am having a problem making mp3 CDs as well. The cd burns fine and will work in my DVD player. However, when I try it in my portable stereo, the stereo reads the files and then stops at 145 .. then it tells me I have no disk.

Obviously there is something wrong with the player as the mp3 CD plays in the DVD player. But the portable player is brand new, and claims to be able to play mp3 both CD-R and CD-RW (although I'm using CD-R) I have tried other mp3 CDs that I've made, and they work fine.

My question is: Are there tips or things to look out for when making an mp3 CD? The one I made was quite big - 686MB or whatever the max is for iTunes. Is there a size limit? Should I keep folder names short? Anything like this? (by the way, I have checked and am in fact burning it correctly in iTunes - using only mp3 files in the playlist and have my settings on "mp3 CD")

Thanks - any advice would be appreciated.

It is best to post a new topic rather then piggy-backing on anothers post - this one is from October - pretty old. By posting your own you will get better attention.

You can try different brand of media. You are limited by the capacity of the media. Make sure that you have selected the mp3 option in the burning prefs.

Hi MJ,
Thanks for your reply. Ok, I see your point. In the future I will just start a new topic.

I have already tried two brands: Verbatim and Mitsubishi. Both disks are 700MB capacity and both have the same problem, the player gets hung-up on song 145 (song 146 is the start of a new album) There are a few albums (folders) on the disk, 146 starts the last one.

And yes, my burning prefs are set to "mp3 CD".

Do you think trial and error is my only option? Different media, take out that song, take out that album, etc? It's just frustrating because it plays in other players.
