How do you get mp3s onto a CD do that they can be played in a stereo?

If you have a regular car stereo than you cannot leave your files in the original mp3 format because they will not be read. Before burning your CD you have to convert the files into a regular music file. All CD burning programs allow you to do that, there is usually an option to either burn a music CD or an mp3 disc. Choose to burn a music CD. Some car CD players will accept mp3 discs in which case you can leave the files in their original format. The benefits of this is that you can fit a lot more songs on a CD and the track names will be displayed (where possible).
