How to Play a CD-RW Disc on a Car MP3 Player

MP3 files can be burned to many types of media, including a flash drive and CD-R or CD-RW audio disks. You can play MP3 files in your car from a CD-RW disk if you have a car MP3 player installed that can play these types of disks. Car MP3 players are typically installed in the dashboard of a vehicle to replace or add to the factory installed radio.
