So even though I am 18, I feel way behind the times right now. I just
purchased my first aftermarket head unit that can play mp3 discs.
(eclipse AVN5435) I am used to making burnt CDs that can play like 80
min of music... But now I am having one hell of a time trying to figure
out how to burn an MP3 disc (that can hold like 100 songs) that will
work in my new head unit. I've tried making data discs? what am I
doing wrong? anybody please... what program should I use? Do all of the
songs actually need to be "MP3's" before starting, for example some are
WMA or WAV or whatever... anyways, I would appreciate any help.. thanks
in advance...

What kind of octane number do these discs have? I've never tried to
burn the stuff. I am familiar with gasoline, ethanol, methanol, and
diesel as a fuel, but not mp3 discs.

I would advise against burning mp3 discs in the car. The noxious fumes
will build up quickly in such a small space.

Your new machine can't play wma or wav.
It can only do cda and mp3.
Your burn software should convert all to mp3.
Be sure to close the data session to make your disc readable.
Burn at 36k bits and you can get 10 hours on one cd.
You won't notice the difference.

The files must all be mp3, and you do need to make data discs; I'm
surprised they didn't work. One question is what kind of directory
structure the player is expecting-- perhaps all the mp3 files have to be
in the root directory, perhaps they have to be in subdirectories (which
it will interpret as "Albums").

You may need to experiment a bit.
