How to Burn an MP3 CD With Windows Vista

Tips & Warnings
If your MP3 CD will not play in a CD player, then that CD player does not support the MP3 file format and, therefore, will not be able to play an MP3 CD. To burn a CD in a format compatible with these types of CD players, select "Audio CD" instead of "Data CD or DVD" during the burning process.
