I used the Free Jodix covert WMA to MP3. In the folder, it was listed as an MPEG file. Then I went to Sonic and made a Jukebox CD. I went to this MPEG folder and added the music. The Sonic program listed them as MP3’s. I was able to load 87 songs on 1 CD. Why doesn’t this play on car or standard CD players?

CD players read the format known either as AIFF or WAV. MP3 is a different (compressed) format - you can get CD players that will read MP3, but it's not by any means a standard feature. MP3 is to AIFF as JPEG is to TIFF (uncompressed tagged image file format); both use similar compression algorithms - hence the MP of MP3 - it stands for MPEG3.

Mp3 is a format that requires decoding in order to work. Many car and standard CD players do not have the necessary decoder in them and therefore can't read the MP3 format.
Basically what this means is that when you go to an electronics store you need to buy items that say "mp3 compatible" as opposed to cd or cdr ready.

MP3 is a compressed format that standard CD players cannot read. Either go and get yourself a CD player that can read MP3 or convert your music back to WMA and burn them normaly.

mp3 is a coded format. CD players play uncoded sound.
