Re: mp3 on CD-player

A CD-player plays an audio-CD (although once in a while you'll see an old one that doesn't play burned CD's or CD-RW). That's the usual CD as you buy it, with 15 to 20 tracks and 60 minutes of music maximum.

A 'modern' CD-player (especially found in cars) will be able to play a data-CD with mp3-files. That's 10 to 12 hours of music in low-quality (96 kbps) mp3-files, less with higher quality mp3's.

So it depends on your cd player what you should use.
