The computer can -- with enough software -- make sense of a great variety 
of ways that files may be placed on a CD.  CD players are, generally, not 
nearly so flexible.

  First of all, your burning program (there are many available) needs to be 
told that you are making an AUDIO CD and not a DATA CD.  Exactly how you do 
that will depend on what program you use.

  While there are a number of popular PC sound formats, most CD players only 
play one very limited set of formats closely related to .WAV.  Some burning 
programs will automatically convert a wide range of other formats once 
they've been told, as above, that the result is supposed to be an AUDIO CD; 
some may require you to convert other formats separately before burning.


  Oh -- *MOST* modern CD players can play an AUDIO CD-R from a burner, but 
older players weren't always so capable.  It's possible that even if you get 
everything right with the format, your car player may not be able to handle 
CD-Rs.
