Tips & Warnings
Some CD players are capable of playing MP3 CDs that you can create in Windows Media Player, if you select the "Data CD or DVD" option rather than "Audio CD." An MP3 CD is capable of storing more audio files than an audio CD, as an MP3 file does not require a change in compression. This allows an MP3 to remain at its original, smaller file size.
