How to Create an MP3 CD With Many Songs Using iTunes
While MP3 CDs aren't as compatible with standalone CD players as traditional audio CDs, they do have their benefits. The most obvious benefit of an MP3 CD is length; while your typical audio CD can only fit 74 minutes of music, an MP3 CD can hold hours of music. iTunes, and many other MP3 programs, support MP3 CD burning, making it easy to create these discs that can hold hundreds of songs.

Tips & Warnings
Check your car's CD player to see if it supports MP3 CDs. If it does then you can play this CD in your car.
