I am trying to burn a 250 mp3 file on a DVD-R to listen in my car or at home. I am using Nero to burn a mp3 disc onto a DVD-R. Will this work in my car's radio and at home? If I burn a mp3 onto a CD-R. I can make either a audio disc or a mp3 disc. Do I need another program for burning mp3s onto a DVD-R or not? Thanks for your help.
 
depending if your car and home hifi can play mp3 data files .. that you'll either have to try or lookup in your manuals ;)
 
Well, there are a few car DVD players that will read and play MP3s, but if you don't have a DVD player in your car, it will NOT work. CDs and DVD are very different technologies, and even if you are just burning data to them, one will not necessarily work with like the other.

You need to look up your car stereo specs and figure it out.

If it does, then you probably just need to burn a data DVD-R disk and put it in. Nothing special.

You could create a video DVD with black video and AC3 audio and possibly play that, but again, your car stereo will need to be able to read a DVD video disc in order to play it.
 
Thanks for your help. I did even think about maybe I could split the mp3 into half and put it back on a cd-r. Thanks
 
If your radio is the stock radio that came with the car, what is your car's make, model and year?
 
Thanks for your help again. I understand that I cannot listen to a music DVD-R. How can I put a big file onto a music CD-R to listen to? Instead of having a ipod. The mp3 file is the Grim Grinning Ghost Going to Disneyland or something like that. I think he did two of them. The person who made the file died. I think two or three years ago. I think it is around 250mb. Thanks for your help.
 
I kindof sounds like you want to make an audio CD of MP3s. Most burning programs will handle MP3 files directly, other may not. IN that case you might need to convert them to WAV files and try those.

A 250M file shuld easily fit on a CD as a track. You can store up to 74 minutes of music on a CD in audio CD format. I wouldn't use 80 minute CDs as they aren't standard and may not play in all CD players.

You other option is to burn the MP3s to a CD-R as a data CD. If your CD player can read MP3s then you can fil a lot more than 74 minutes of songs on a CD, but it won't be usable by all (maybe even most) CD players.

You need to find out the capabilities of your playback device and go with whatever it supports. You might be better off in another forum for help with burning stuff to CDs/DVDs. We supply the audio/video, what you do with it is really up to you. Figuring out what you need to do to get it to where you need it is probably beyond the scope of this site. www.videohelp.com would be my first suggestion.
