Angry CD Player MP3

So I have a Mac computer and have been converting songs in to the MP3 format so I can get 3+ hours of music on 1 disc. Problem is I am getting a few songs that will not play or the CD player (stock) locks up. Anyone got a clue? And I know this is the awesome HD forum and not GEEk Forum. LOL

Yeah the reason is DRM and the reason why I hate Apple, Itunes, Iphone and the rest of the crap steve jobs puts out.

DRM is copyright code (i believe) that Apple and others use to prevent unlawful trading of music. You can buy a cracker or download a warez version via piratebay.org or demoniod.com (all of which is illegal, just an FYI). Easy way (if you think this is easy) around it is too burn the music to a CD and then rip down to an MP3 directly via Nero or something like that.

It has nothing to do with Harley or their radio, I have the same issue with my radios in my Harley, Scion and Honda. Real pain in the ***.

If it's not a DRM problem then it's probably album art work.

Check out this thread: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/other...mp3-on-cd.html

The last post tells you how to strip the art work in itunes. I still have a couple songs that just refuse to play, but for the most part this fixed it.
