The software NERO works well and is user-friendly. Pretty cheap too as I recall. Just make sure you are writing onto CD's and not DVD's. Big difference.

Question, Are your songs stored on iTunes on your computer? if so, PM me because I know your problem and I know the fix. (Been there, done that.)..

Doesn't really matter too much because most people can't hear much past the 128kbps anyways (CD Standard for that matter), and when you get on a bike going 75mph, you aren't going to hear it all anyways.

And to answer the OP's question, you can't play a DVD in a device made to handle CD's only. If you bought a high end aftermarket radio you might be able to, but the HD stock ones (and most of the reasonably priced aftermarket stereos for that matter) aren't made to handle DVD's.

Don't create an audio CD from MP3 files - Simply create a data CD. What Nero is doing is turning the MP3 data back to PCM data. That will limit you to around 75 minutes (at 44.1kHz/16-bit) as opposed to 800MB at whatever bitrate the MP3 data is written at.

Just ignore the fact that it's music and treat it as you would any other data.

I use Windows Media Player burned to data disc, Can get 140+ songs on a 700MB cd and play them no problem on my 09. I wouldn't think a dvd would work in a cd player.

Keep in mind still that iTunes will write an audio CD - Not a data CD. One will give you around 75 minutes, the other has the potential for around 600 minutes of 'reasonable' (a.k.a. "good enough for riding") quality.
