I'm still quite new to the world of macs but not nearly so new as I am to creating Audio Cds - like half an hour.

I've searched here, on google and ask.com, and opened Garageband for the first time ever but I cannot work out how to copy a mp3 file of my sons band to a CD such that it will play in my cars CD player. What format should I be trying to convert to and have I got the software on my newish iMac? If not, is there some, preferably free, software I need to download?

Create a playlist in iTunes and you can burn an audio CD from there, make sure you set Audio CD and not MP3 CD in the itunes burning preferences

Or Try the open source Burn

burn-osx.sourceforge.net

Many thanks louishen. I've never used a playlist before so I've learnt a bit about those as well. Aren't things easy when you know how!
