With the exception of Load and ReLoad, a friend of mine was able to get every Metallica album on one CD. It was a regular 700meg capacity CD, and he played the CD and I was able to hear the songs. I thought that if the music file was in MP3 format, the program would automatically convert it into WAV format. Anyone know how he did this? I asked him, but he gave me the whole "A magician doesn't give away his secrets" routine. Does anyone know how this is done?

I know when I burn CD’s I have the ability to choose if its going to be burning Audio Files or Data files. If I choose Audio it has to be in a wav format. In the Data file option you can have any file including MP3’s. Some of the radios that you can buy now can handle MP3’s for your car stereo. Since MP3's are smaller in size then a WAV you can fit 150+ songs.

There are 3 things that you have to look for:


  • Does his CD player play MP3's
  • Were they ripped
  • What program do you use to burn the CD's


Some Burner programs will automatically change the format from *.mp3 to *.wav while it is burning. Others, you need to rip the CD into *.wav files (you can do this through winamp) or you rip the CD into mp3 (I use CD'n'GO!).

If he was able to put all of the albums onto one CD, he is more than likely able to play mp3's in his CD player.

Hope this helps.

He burned them as mp3's and was playing them on a combination CD/mp3 player. So basically he's got 700 MB of music on the cd, not 80 minutes.

While you're at it, you should probably walk up to this friend of yours and punch him in the back of the head. He sounds like a real jackass.

This guy really does sound like a dick. If you don't have it already, take the Load and ReLoad albums and slash him in the jugular. As JBA was saying, you have to remember you need to burn the mp3's as a data file, not an audio file.

Thanks for the help guys. I really appreciate it.

Maybe "friend" was a little strong. Acquaintance is more like it. I rarely see him, because he is the kind of person you can only handle in small portions before driving a coat hanger through his eye becomes more of an action than a thought.

One other thing - is there a way to find out if my car stereo can play MP3's besides sticking a MP3 CD in it?

What kind is it? If it is more than a year and a half old, it probably won't. If you are even questioning if it does, it probably doesn't. If you didn't pay more than $200 for it, it probably doesn't.

Stick it in. Two things will happen. Nothing, or the display will show an error reading the CD.

The car stereos that are playing MP3’s usually run $300+ dollars or you just bought a $45,000 car. Kenwood has a few nice one’s out there right now.

Well, just for your info, my car is a 2002 Nissan SE-R Spec V. I got the 300 watt Rockford Fosgate stereo option with 6-CD changer. I'll try to make a quick MP3 CD tonight and see if it plays.

Thanks for all your help guys.

If you have to ask if your cd player plays mp3's, it probably doesn't.

I have a tdk mojo - a diskman type cd/mp3 player.
I use one of those cassette adapters and voila - I have a car mp3 player.

the tdk and Rio have players for around $100.

Don't forget to close out the disk before you try it in your car. Some players won't play an open CD.

Well, I'll try the MP3 CD tonight, but as some people have said, if I have to ask if it plays MP3's, then it probably doesn't. If not, then I'll get what PeterDragon has - combo CD/MP3 player. Thanks again for your help guys.
