Default MP3 in dash CD Player

I've since changed my ways, but once upon I time I use to use Kazaa to "steal" .mp3 songs to load onto a CD and play on my indash stereo.

I've subscribed to I-tunes and found them to be useless unless you have an I-pod or want to burn a 17 song music CD. Is there any place I can download songs in .mp3 format, where my indash mp3 player will recognize the songs as data so I can continue to enjoy those 200 song CD's?

Sidenote: If anyone knows how to take the i-tunes or other files and convert them, that'd be just as good

-Chris

The iTunes thing:

Burn a 17 song CD [in AIFF format.] Import the songs back into iTunes (or any other MP3 conversion program) as MP3.

Your next step is to burn the new cd with mp3 files. iTunes will do it, however I've had better results with Toast.

As Steve says, "Don't steal music."

You got to be kidding me. $1.17 an album. This is insane.

I heard that Napster is pretty good. $.10 per song. You can get the software @ BestBuy...

If you are still into "illegal" activities, LimeWire is good. Available for FREE at www.download.com

I've been using freerip to convert all my CDs to MP3 files.

When burning to CD-R, I found out that for my Alpine headunit, you have to burn the CD as Disk-at-once, not Track-at-once.

I now have CD-Rs with up to 8 albums burned in MP3 format (created as data disks), and the Alpine plays them no problem.

I got the I-tunes downloads to work, but it's a waste of a CD. You have to take the downloaded M4P file and burn it to CD as an audio. The file is then converted to .CDA on the CD. Then you have to rip it back as an .MP3.

I know I-tunes sucks, but I happened to get a bunch of winning pepsi free downloads so might as well use em.

NFRs2000NYC: EXCELLENT FIND!!!!
