Car CD Player Trouble...

Lee · Post by **Lee** » 08 Jun 2006 17:56

I'm having trouble burning a CD that works in my car. I've tried to put the songs in different formats. I've tried .wmp , .mpg , .mp3 and none of them work. I know it plays burnt CDs because a friend made me one and it works just fine. Does anyone know what format I need to use?

Unless it specifically plays mp3s, probably the only format that will work is .wav. You can only fit about 70 minutes worth of .wav files on a CD.

I've tried .mp3, so I know it wont work there.

And when I try .wav, it won't even start the burn.

AAAHHH!!!

i had a problem like this too, except that nothing would work in my cd player. then i realized that it had been stolen.

Wow.
That sucks.
Well, Hopefully I can get things to work in .wav
I found some things wrong, so I'm fixing them.
Cross your fingers.

It's possibly the type of CD you're using. I know there was a certain type of blank CD that my car wouldn't play. I'd be willing to bet that that's your problem.

if you just burn a song using itunes or wmp, it should burn it in wav format.

you have to burn it like data for an mp3 cd. and mp3 cdplayers are spencive.

im pretty good with car electronics, so whenev i c your cdplayer, maybe i could help...

.wav doesn't work.

Hmm...

It could be the CD is wrong thing.
All CD-RWs don't work and all the CD-Rs do.

if your using itunes, dont just drag and drop, then press burn. It will only work in your comp.

You need to burn each song manually. or at least I do.

It was the wrong type of CD.
I've got it working now.

Thanks.
