Or will they just play if I burn mp3's to a CD to play in my car? I only have a couple cd's left so I need to know before I try to do it. Thanks.

Yeah, if your car has an mp3 cd player, just burn the mp3's to disk as if you were burning a data cd.

If it's just a regular CD player, you can't burn with the MP3 format and you're limited to about...14 or so 3-4 minute tracks?

Then you need to burn an audio cd, and yeah, you're limited to about 70 minutes of music.

How do I just burn them to audio tracks? Do I need some kind of file type changer or something?

Nero does it, juts do Audio cd,

windows media player does it too, if you dont have nero.

So I would just write the files to CD through WMP then?

Also, what about playing a video clip on my computer in my home DVD player, so I can watch it on TV.

For video clips, find a program that will make VCD's so you can play them on the dvd player. Another alternative is if you have a dvd burner, you use a dvd+r, and record movie files on that with programs such as windvd creator.

It depends on the car CD player. My car CD player (2005 Buick) plays MP3 files just fine. I have many CDs filled with MP3 albums - avaregae 8 hours of music per disk.

But, my wife's 2002 car CD player will not play MP3s. Conclusion - newer ones do - older ones don't.
