MP3 CD format is a special format where you can put literally almost 100 or more songs on one CD. You have to have a stereo or CD player that has MP3 on it to play them. They are few and far between. My DVD player will play them. It's best to burn in regular uncompressed CD, they are more useful when going from player to player.
