Converting audio to play on car CD

Hi,

I want to convert some audio files, mainly music and spoken word so they can play on my car CD player.

I thought converting .mp3 to .aiff would be enough but put the CD in the player and nothing happened.

Could anyone tell me how to convert audio files stored on a computer so they will play in a car CD player?

This is probably really easy and straight forward, but I am completely new to burning CD's.

Thank you very much

You need to burn it as a proper audio cd. Burning the aiff files just created a data cd with audio files on it

Assuming you're using iTunes, just create a new playlist with the songs you want to burn and then select it and click the 'burn disc' button at the bottom right of your screen.

Enter a disc and confirm you want to burn it!

NOTE: If you've ever fiddled around with iTunes' preferences, you may need to make sure that you have selected "audio CD":
Check under "iTunes> Preferences> Advanced> Burning"

Some CD players will simply not accept burned media. Or may be finicky. Try burining on gold or silver CDs (more expensive) if you still run into problems.

aptmunich has zeroed in on your issue, but if you still have problems, just buy any decent cd-r media (not bargain basement).
if you can't play one in the car or on another "normal" cd player, your best bet is to burn at a slower speed 2x or 4x instead of 8x and up.

I did as recommended with Itunes.

it worked a treat. thanks for your help.

now if anyone can program a VCR???..........
