    When I burn an MP3 CD on iTunes, it doesn't play on my car.

    Does anybody know why this is? Or How I can change that?

    open the cd in your macbook and see if it's actually an mp3 disc. I had thought that itunes only burns audio discs and itunes backup discs (not compatable in mp3 players).

    Maybe I'm wrong... but I doubt it burns mp3 discs as mp3 does not have the same DRM or whatever on them...

    iTunes should burn mp3 discs, as long as the songs are mp3's. Look at the 'info' for the file, likely they are .m4a (AAC) which is the default for iTunes. If they are, you need to re encode. If you have the CD's just rerip them, if you bought them through iTunes, burn a regular audio disc and rip them as mp3. Go to Preferences-->Advanced-->Importing and change it to mp3 first.
