hi there.

I have a load of MP3 files that I want to play from a CD in a CD player. I am doing it for an old boy I know and he does not want an iPod or anything else, just CDs.

is CD format WMA or AAC?

Thank you

by the way I will be using format factory.

True music CDs have their own format and you will need to tell Format Factory to burn a "Music CD" which will limit you to about 20 or so songs on a CD.

However many of the new CD players can play a CD with MP3 files leting you put hundreds of songs on 1 CD. Usually the CD player will announce this feature in BIG letters if it is available

Using Roxio for Windows or Toast for IMAC and many other programs, you select burn MP3 CD you can put over 100 songs on each CD

The trick is to burn to the format called MP3 disc and not CD

But you have to have a player that accepts MP3. Older music CD players will not play them. Just as older DVD players will not play xvid and such. You have to match the formats used to what the players will accept. If you do not know it will accept MP3 "music CD" would be the choice to use.
