I think there is some confusion here Deb. MP3 cannot be played on a regular CDplayer, unless it has the added facility to do so, i.e. my Cd player in my car has the ability to play audio, MP3, CDR, and CDRW. My Audio centre in the house can only play audio, but will play CDR and CDRW but not MP3. Now then, if you open Nero or Roxio and then go to create CD, it will ask you if you want to create a Data or Audio CD. So then if you tell it to create an Audio CD, and load stored MP3 files from you PC into the Nero or Roxio record window, what comes our on your newly created CDR is Audio files that can be listened to on you home audio system. Does this make it any more clear?
