Default Burning MP3 CD

I have about 150 titles I have downloaded from Real.Com. They cannot be directly converted to MP3 because of the secure format. Someone here on the forum told me burn the songs onto CD's in their audio CD format which removes the security, then transfer back to my hard drive in MP3 format. This worked great as advised.

I have a 2007 Vert on order and now need advice on the best way to burn these MP3's onto a CD that will play on my Nav. CD. Do I use my Real Audio software or some other software? I also have Sonic Record Now software. Thanks.

Jim

I use Itunes to burn my MP3 disks, it's free and it works.

The link above will get you started on a subject that's been discussed a lot.

Bottom line, you can only use filenames up to 31 characters. You can use folders and it seems to work better with simple directory structures with less than 20 songs each. More than 20 will work most of the time. I've used CDRW disks but it tends to cut songs off now and then.
