Your MAC can't do anything like that....however, your Mac has iTunes which can do that quite easily.;) Open iTunes, select audio...go to File>Create New Version and I'm sure you can figure it out from there.

BTW...MAC is an acronym for A MAC (Media Access Control) address, sometimes referred to as a hardware address or physical address.
A Mac is one kick butt computer!

Hello and welcome to the forum! :) As already suggested, iTunes can be used - if your MP3 files are already on your computer w/ playlists, then an easy method is to simply select a 'playlist', click the 'gear' in the lower left corner which opens the menu shown in the image attached - then select 'Burn Playlist to Disc' (blue arrow). Of course, you'll need a way to play the MP3 files in your car, but assume you have that already solved. Dave

There's no need to convert the files as suggested by Dogbreath. Just make a playlist of songs (no more than 70 minutes' worth for a standard audio CD), then right click and choose to burn the playlist to Audio CD (not MP3 CD). The files are converted "on the fly" for burning to the format used by an Audio CD.
