Title: MP3 CD for car radio
Post by: Patoson on December 20, 2013, 05:17:22 pm
I've been searching in gugle and tried several methods, but I still can't figure out how to burn a mp3 cd for my car radio to read.

Either it won't read an album I purchased in itoonz store (that i converted to mp3) and not even windowz will read the cd, or the car radio just won't read it at all (with UDF, Disk/session at once and most on default).

I would appreciate any help!

Edit: the CD's are TDK -R and I never had any issues before. I used to burn as ISO disk-at-once but with these new albums i bought via itoonz and the new version of n3r0 i can't figure out how to do it. I don't know if it's because of copirite or wth.

Disk is not finalized (or what's the word?), maybe?

Finalize disk, disk/sesion-at-once (tried session-at-once/96) as well, no multisession. Everything like I always used to do, but the problem started when I began purchasing albums in itoonz. I got a couple of them and with the usual method, the radio won't read some of them (copirite I guess) and also windowz wouldn't read the CD either, and the last attempt was UDF instead of ISO, with which windowz read it but the car radio just wouldn't even load it (error).

Which programs have you tried? You don't just copy the MP3 files onto it do you? You need to burn it as a music CD in the program's options. Unless the CDplayer will play mp3's directly from a CD (haven't had one  of these myself)

I have used https://cdburnerxp.se/ before

With N3R0 (my usual prefrence) and iT00nz when I couldn't do it with N3R0. It's as if purchasing the stuff weren't worth it...

Use .WAV instead of mp3.

Use Itunes. Make a playlist of the songs you want on the cd and put an empty disk into your drive. When you have your playlist selected, on the left bottom side there should be an option like "burn playlist on medium" or something like that. It's really quick and really the best method.

Alright, I found the solution. I was right about the DRM of itoonz muzik. I followed the third method from here (http://www.wikihow.com/Convert-Purchased-iTunes-Music-into-Unprotected-MP3s) and problem solved.

By the way, that program is very nice, Grumbs (simpler than N3ro). Thanks everyone!
