Hey all,

I searched lots of thread, but i can't find "mp3 cd problem" at all. I created a CD including lots of mp3 song, then when i want to play in the car, i cannot succeed. It appears " CD ERROR "..

- I know how can CD burn (thats the important one )
- There is a label under cd player that is "mp3"
- I tried with DVD but problem is not solved.

What i have to do? Which kind of CD could help me?

Many Thanks..!

• You mention the CD 'includes lots of MP3 songs'. It is important that the CD only has MP3 files on it and no other file types.
• When burning a CD, do it at a low speed - definately not the highest speed of the drive (higher speeds massively decrease reliability when burning)
• Try burning one CD with just a small number (say less than 5) tracks on it, and see if that works. If so then try with more tracks.
• Make sure your albums are in separate folders on the CD you want to burn
• Don't use the built-in Windows CD burning if you have something else - most PC's are supplied with some proper burning software - always use that if you can as it will be more reliable.
• CDs have to be in ISO9660 format and burning software will give you the option to burn with this format (or as standard)
• Make sure the CD has finalised its burning and/or checking before removing it from your PC
• Try a different brand of CD. I've used some really expensive ones but found Tesco branded ones are just as good if you keep the burning speed down
• CD's are generally cheap throw-away items but you could try using a rewriteable one instead
• Your sound system manual has a section in it about MP3 CDs and how they must be formatted
