iTunes Burning Question

[Noj]

I have an mp3-playing car stereo, and I want to burn mp3 cdrs to have in the car instead of having a giant book of 80-minute cdrs. Anyone know how to force iTunes to do this? When I change the burning preferences to "mp3 cd," I get an error message for each track saying they are not mp3-formatted. However, I can move them just fine onto my iPod, so they must be mp3s. WTF?

Jon. It sounds like you've been listening to Aiff files on your iPod.

(by the way, you can listen to a bunch of different formats on your iPod - not just mp3s)

When you go to your iTunes Preferences/Advanced/Importing

window what does it show that you're using to encode your iTunes

music?

When you drop that new CD in your iTunes, THIS is what it's encoding at

and I'm guessing that you have it set to "AIFF" or something other than "mp3"

Let's hope that all your files are AIFF (or uncompressed)

or else when you convert them to mp3s (highlight your tunes and then:

go to iTunes/Advanced/Convert Selection(s) to mp3) they'll sound like crap.
