Making Music work in a older car.

[thy_brandon]

I drive a 04 sonata and I'm having trouble making burned CDs work in my car, but I think the issue is the songs are getting burned as mp3s when they need to be .cda files is there a burning program I can use that will convert the mp3 files into .cda files?

Thanks.

Try this:

When installed, choose option to create an "Audio CD" in the Multimedia section.

Can't say for sure if it can create .cda tracks from mp3 tracks but hopefully it can.

Windows Media Player can create standard music "Audio CD"s out of MP3/WMA/WAV

On my Windows 10: There's a side panel on the right, with "Play", "Sync" and "Burn" tabs. Drag a handful of MP3 there, put a blank CD into the writer, choose "Audio CD" on the small drop-down menu at the top-right corner, click "Start burn".

You obviously are creating data disks with mp3 files.
What you have to do is to create Digital Audio disks.

You can also use Windows Media Player to burn Audio CD's. There's a guide here on how to do that:
