i mad

[Luckris]

so I'm trying to burn some new mp3's to a CD because that's all my car can take for the moment, and I got a normal 700mb cd-r, and used windows 7 thing to burn them to the CD, but they don't play in the car, but all other official branded cd's (deadmau5 and shit) work fine. I been listing to the same CD for a month, it's getting old. How to fix so I don't go crazy and spend 450$ on new sound system for car pls. 

 

[ImBleu]

are you sure you're using the right audio format and that the disk is properly formatted?

uhh, I drag and drop the songs and hit the start burn button.

This.

Or get a stereo with an auxiliary jack and a phone mount for like ~$60 total.

I have this and got it for $48, usually just leave my 16gig flash drive in it that's filled with music, it has shuffle and a built-in EQ. You can also switch between EQ's, so if I'm listening to EDM, and then a not-EDM song comes on and the EQ is completely off, *click, click* and it sounds great again. You can also have folders of music, so you can still sort everything. Worth the investment if you drive any longer than 5-10 minutes a day.

You are burning a data drive not a CD, that means you will need a cd-player that will play mp3, which most car audio's don't. You need to burn your music to right kind of format.

 

Just look at the top right corner it says "data drive".

Some in-car CD players don't support MP3. Convert it to CDA and then burn it.

Next audio mod I do is going to be 2 12'inches with an amp, and a touch screen in my Mitsubishi Eclipse. It's just a racing car is not a good every day car. I cringe every time a little pebble hits the new paint.  I don't want to spend to much cash, just get songs from my computer to play in my car.

Not data drive, made sure of that this time.

CDA? do I need third party software for that, or will audacity work fine?

Audacity should be able to convert to CDA. If not you can get some freeware converter.

Ima test something quick. Got this off Microsoft site 

"If you're trying to play an MP3 file that contains compressed ID3 headers, make a copy of the file, and then use a non-Microsoft ID3 tag-editing program to remove or reset the file's ID3 headers.

The ID3 header is a portion of the file that stores the song's album information (for example, the song name, artist name, album name, and genre). This information is sometimes called a tag. After you remove the ID3 headers, Windows Media Player should be able to play the MP3 file."

I did that saves it as .wav  I'm going to burn some songs and test it. That might be why the car can't want to play it. 

reply something to this so i can say if it works or not. ill be a few mins gotta throw clothes on and pee. >.>

Most music don't use compressed tags but feel free to try it. If it doesn't work, burn the music as CDA. CDA is the file that CD's use, and they're higher quality than MP3 (not going from MP3 to CDA but CDA to MP3).

You need to make sure that you are burning an audio CD, not a data CD. A data CD simply contains the MP3 files that you have selected, which can only be played by compatible players or PCs. Audio CDs are a specific format that can be read by all CD players. There is no reason to use CDA files, the software you use should be able to format them into CDA when the disk is burnt.

You can look at this MS help page for WMP:

You can also make an audio CD with ImgBurn, which you can get here (watch out for the adware when installing):

Here is the tutorial for making an audio CD:

I hope this helps, best of luck

[Luckris]

[simson0606]

are you formatting the disks before writing the songs to them?

 

because that's not needed, it will transform the disk into a data disk
