    I've been having problems with playing burned cds in my car. I changed my mp3s to wavs but that didn't work either.
    I have cds of the same brand that other people have made me in the past that will play in the cd player so I dont think it is my cd player.
    To make it even more confusing... The cds I've made using my cd burner play in other peoples' cars so I dont think it is my cd burner either.
    This may be more of a car question but if someone can give me any advice, I'd appreciate it.

    If on your car you have a normal CD player you need to burn an AUDIO cd not a CR-ROM ISO cd with .wav or .mp3 in it.

    Use Nero or EAC ( www.exactaudiocopy.de ). Ah, burn it at LOW speed or you'll hear pops, clicks.

    More, learn the difference between AUDIO and DATA type CD or you'll burn coasters.

    Well, this is totally hardware dependent. I can smoke at 44x and the results are fine. But generally it is a good idea to decrease the audio burn speed slightly. To 16x perhaps?

    I totally agree, cd-rw.org.

    Probably I'm too much conservative, but since
    74 min @ 44x = 2 min
    74 min @ 12x = 6 min

    I usually prefere to be on the safe side, rather than wasting a good CD just for saving 4 minutes. This is just my opinion, though.
