Having trouble making my computer's MP3 files burn to a regular audio CD.?

Question

Can you help me with this burning stuff!!! Grrr, I can't get my mp3 files to burn correctly to an audio CD. My player in the house is only CD's and my player in the car is Mp3 compatible. However, when I burn on these new CD-RW's it is not converting over to the disc. It's there and will play on the computer, but not in any house or car players. I have "formatted" and "finalized" the finished CD - and still nothing.
I've used Roxio (which is where I'm having the most trouble) and also Windows Media Player. Actually the Win Media Player did work; however, it won't always burn, it's a hit and miss. Sometimes I press the "Start Burn" button and it doesn't do anything.

What am I doing wrong????

Answer 1

Yeah, I know what you mean, I had loads of problems too, the best application I found, and I must have tried them all, was the iPod thing, iTunes, it is free to download and easy to use and so far I've had no trouble with it at all.

Answer 2

Basically, if you're doing everything else correctly, you're using the wrong type discs....CD-RW discs aren't really meant to create an audio CD for playing in regular CD players, whether it's MP3 compatible or not. Try what you're doing with plain ol' blank CD-R's, not the CD-RW's.
