Convert CD from MP3
I have a CD which my wife likes and would like to play in her car's CD player but as it is in MP3 format cannot play it and she does not want to go the trouble of replacing the CD player.Is it possible to perhaps copy it to another disc using perhaps Ashampoo and the copy ends up as a normal CD-R.If not can anyone make a suggestion.Thank's in anticpation

Rip it to her phone and use an FM transmitter connected to the phone either using Bluetooth or to the headphone socket?
(I am using if the car radio is so old it won't play MP3 format CDs then it doesn't have an Aux in socket nor Bluetooth connectivity either) |

I thought nearly computers came with software to do this (mine has Power2Go), but there are several free downloads that will enable you to convert them to the playable .wav format.

Even Windows Media Player will do this. Top right, click on "Burn", drag CD MP3 files to burn list, insert blank CD, burn CD, done.

The one caveat with all of this is...
As a data disk containing mp3 files a CD can contain several hours of audio files, potentially. As a Music CD it can only contain 70 or 80 minutes of audio. So you have to be aware that copying a bunch of mp3 files off a CD may require more than one disk when converted to CD Audio. |

A CD containing WAV files is not the same as a music CD and may be as unplayable as a CD containing mp3 files. A music CD has to be burnt in a specific way otherwise stand alone or car audio CD players might not recognise it. |

WAV is a computer file format. Whist it very closely resembles the data format of a audio CD it is not the same.

I didn't know that. Every car CD player I've had has always been able to play .wav files.
