what format bought CDs music are in?
My new Jeep has a CD player but won't play a burned audio CD MP4 music disc. I need to find the format it will play, and no I haven't tried a bought CD music CD yet. Just need to know what format a bought CD music are in?
Store bought commercial audio CD's are .wav files and have to be formatted as such to play in a typical music CD player. I'm pretty sure that some car CD players will now also play mp3's as well.

I guess that's why the burned CD didn't work. The songs were saved as .mp3's by Train and sent to me on CDs for home use. I thought I'd try them in my new Jeep.
Can I convert MP3 to .wav?
You can use Windows Media Player..

Just remember that the new CD will only hold around 1/10th the no of songs depending on song length because the new wav files will be much larger than the burned mp3s
Ok, thanks fink.
I'm still trying to find out what format the CD player in the Jeep will play. You'd think this newer year it is would play mp3s. It's a 2006. The manual mentions dvds too. But I can't find any further information on that either.
Okay, I got bored tonight and decided to rip that disk I made to .wav files. I have it now burning a new disk.
I have not yet, tested the drive in Jeep with a commercial disk but I can't see why it wouldn't. We'll see tomorrow. eh?
Okay mister fink, they're not .wav files but .cda files. I checked a commercial disk and it's properties said, .cda. Have any idea how to convert .wav files to .cda? I tried Windows media player and that didn't do it.
As far as I know Windows sees the .wav files as .cda for it's own usage..

CDA is Microsoft's own file extension for its presentation of digital playback of CD audio. It only applies if you are looking at the CD drive in Windows Explorer, and they function kind of like a "shortcut" to open a media player.
Does the CD you made not play in the car? Have you tried any store bought CD's?
Audacity, which is free and very good, might be an option...

The one I burned with Windows Media Player would not play in the cd player in the Jeep. It would play a commercial cd though.
I'll try Audacity and see if that will work.
Thanks fink!
I've gotten that too. Some play in the computer, not in the car or my stereo system CD player. Others play just fine everywhere.
Fink, I believe you said before that the solution was to burn the CD at the lowest speed available.
Yeah, I burned at lowest speed possible. And at your original post cda stands for CD Audio. I haven't tried Audacity yet though. No time.

My car is 14 years old, and it plays MP3's, but it doesn't play CDA's. If CDA is just the MS version of wav, why don't some CD players read them?
My Jeep is only 12 years old, it's a 2006 2wd Sport so I thought it should play mp3s. That was the first disk I tried in the cd player but it wouldn't play it. It'll play commercial cds though, it won't let me play tracks past a certain track. The facing doesn't say track 1, track 2, it says disc 1, disc 2 up to disc 6. And the manual I found online says it's supposed to be a 6 cd disc changer but I can't find the disc changer to load the 6 discs to it.
Try loading the other CD's through the slot... they may automatically stack themselves inside the unit.
And to be clear, Audacity doesn't do the burning, it makes the play list so you'll still need to use another utility (like CDburner XP) to do the burn.
You keep distracting me with Tiny Kittens. :P
According to the manual the cd changer is a box in the back of the Jeep in the cargo area, there isn't one back there, it's supposed to be on the side panel but I couldn't find one. Also there is no button to advance to another track.Quote:

I figured Audacity would just make the play list. I already have CDburnerXP on my computer for burning data cds.
I keep distracting myself with Tiny Kittens :)Quote:

And I had to look. It's your fault foxy, you made me curious enough, cat lovers ( I am one) click here. Now I'm distracted by tiny kittens. :)
I sent that link to my daughter and granddaughter too.
I'm a cat person too. Foxy was my beloved gray longhair, and I loved her, but shoot me first before I adopt another longhair. I had some problem with wax in one ear about 10 years ago, and there was also gray fuzz in the plug my doctor removed. Fuzz in the keyboards, fuzz in the carpets.... And she hated to be brushed.
When I moved to Jacksonville, FL to my granddaughter's house, I didn't think I was a cat person, but her cats thought I was, they came to me. Her youngest slept with me, sort of adopting me, and when I left, I wanted to bring her home with me but she was my granddaughter's and I couldn't do that to her. Where I live now I can't have animals. My two brothers live with me and they'd have a fit if I had all the animals I wanted here. LOL
This will be the only animal I'm allowed to own. In 6 weeks time when they're old enough to leave mom, I'll have two, Grumpy you see below and his sister, Angel.
Sugar Glider, named Grumpy

Pretty cute!
Is that a type of badger?
Anthony is my 7th. You can't have dogs in this building, but cats are allowed.
You can't have animals because of your brothers or the building management?
Yes, they are! cute to play with too. They're love to cuddle too. They like to crawl all over you.Quote:

As for why I can't have other animals, it's a brothers thing. We all live in the house my mom and dad had built in 1960 with sits on a two city lots in an urban city type setting. not really city but not country either, but close to an inter-coastal waterway. Both parents have passed and we siblings, 11 of us, inherited the house. It's a single family dwelling with three bedrooms, each of us, two boys and me, has a bedroom. They are my older brothers by one being 6 years older and one being 4 years older. And both think they can tell me what I can and can't have.
So to compromise I've decided the sugar gliders won't be roaming the house, won't stink up the house and they'll be in a cage most of the time, except when I take them out and put them in their pouch, or have them on my body, they can compromise and let me have them. :D
I had cats when I lived in Minnesota, Little Face, and Patchie boy. But when I left there, I had no way to take them with me, so I had to find them homes before I left. I have photos of them though and I'll see if I can dig them up. Oh, and I had one cat while in Texas too, her name was Sweets. I couldn't bring her to Florida either so I left her with my daughter Terri. Who didn't take care of her and she passed away not long after I left Texas. :( I was not happy about that either.
Adorable, like a kitten. And we could surf all over the net now, but I have opera tickets.
Is the Jeep music issue resolved? I just read that you can plug a changer into some of them, but I wouldn't have the space. My car is like a little box on wheels.
you can keep your opera tickets, not for me thanks. I'd rather surf the net. LOLQuote:
