MP3 to CD-R Problem

I have MP3 files on my system (Windows XP Home SP2) that I burned to a CD-R and they will not play on my car CD player or my home CD player. They do play on my computer in Windows Media Player. I have done this before and it has worked fine. I must have done something wrong. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
As always, thanks for your help.

How did you burn the files? what program did you use? If you select to create an audio CD the software will burn the files as tracks and show the space they have taken on the discs in time, whereas if you burnt the CD as Data then the files will be burnt as raw data and the scale used will be in MB upto 700mb, so if it was burnt as data standard CD players/in-car will not read the disc properly unless they can read raw MP3 files.

Coach17, did you just burn the MP3's as a Data CDR and your player would play it, or convert it to an AudioCD format for your car player to read it?

If you need to, WindowsMediaPlayer can convert the mp3s you have to an AudioCD that is readable by pretty much all players.

Thanks for your help. I burned them as an Audio CD and it works fine now. Originally I burned as a Data by mistake.

Thanks again.

You're Welcome. Thanks for posting back.:)
