My H-K player plays CD-R's derived form mp3's just fine! What is the problem the other posters are having? Does you player reject or fail to load them or do they just not play? I do know that many homemade CD labels render the CD too thick and they won't load.

I don't think that everyone was trying to play burned CD-R's. Even if they are derived from MP3s, because the MP3s are still converted to AIFF formant, they have no problem playing the MBNZ changer. What I believe everyone was referring to was the ability to play MP3 cd's which don't convert the files to AIFF, allowing a lot more files to be on one CD. While standard audio CD's play fine, MP3 CD's are not supported by OEM equipment.

So does that mean if I can burn a CD-R from my computer of mp3 files, and then close the CD so it can be written again, the HK system can play these mp3 files?

99% of people who burn CDs to listen to in his/her car are not listening to actual MP3's. The music is stored on your computer as an MP3, but when burned, converts it to a different format that all CD players can regonize. and you can only get 70-80 minutes on. Most CD burning software does this conversion automaticly. if you simply do a DIRECT COPY of MP3s to your CD-R, then your CD player will not be able to recognize that format.
Your burning software is converting the format, thats how you can play it back.
