How do I burn a mp3 cd that will work in my vehicle?

If I burn it "like a flash drive" my vehicle won't read it, but the other option is an audio cd, which is not what I want.

I can burn it with my XP machine and the vehicle reads it with no problem, but not Windows 10.

    Hi Gregory,

    Thank you for the screenshot.

    If you click the button shown below, do you not have the option on the resulting menu to change to a Data CD?

    Hi Gregory,

    The best option is to burn the disk in Windows File Explorer, not Windows Media player, then you can select Data CD and just drag the files onto the CD and finally click Burn

    Is it possible to finalize the disk if I use the "like a flash drive" option?

    No, the only two options that it offers us an audio cd with windows media player and like a flash drive.

    Hi Gregory,

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    An MP3 disk should be burned as a Data CD, not an Audio CD and not as a USB Flash Drive, because that option does not finalize the disk.

    Do you not have the option to burn as a Data CD and then start adding the MP3 files?
