You are creating a music CD which conforms to the Red Book Standard: 44.1kHz 16-bit PCM stereo, giving a maximum of 74 or 80 minutes depending on the CD-R. Such a CD should be playable on most if not all CD players. You can burn instead a Data CD where the MP3 files are just copied onto the disk as ...

I never use compression not evn for in-car use (where I rely on the volume knob - and in my little 2-seater with the lid off y...
