flac to mp3 320 k for mp3 cd question

[mrfart]

Hi,
I like to listen to my music in flac, and as you know, one of the great things about MM is that it also automatically can convert these when syncing to an ipod/phone...
I do this all the time and my iphone plays the mp3s without a problem (320k, CBR).
However, for my car I have to burn mp3 cd's. When I burn a cd with MM, the player in my car will play the mp3s 320k CBRs I bought without a problem. The mp3s that were converted by MM from flacfiles however are unreadable.
Any ideas on how to overcome this problem?
Thanks.

Check your car user's manual. Some decks have limitation on folders structure, filenames length, encoding (min/max bitrates, sampling 44.1 KHz, ...), physical CD's type (CD-R, dual-disc, ...) etc.

This is what is so weird.
The mp3s I buy at boomkat etc... are mp3 320k CBR.
And I use the same settings with the conversion in MM.
I don't have folders (he finds the tracks, he just doesn't want to play them).
I'll try with VBR or something and post back.

Do you use Manual Settings or LAME Standard Presets for your MP3 convertion?
I think you should not have any problem with this preset:
[- Insane: CBR ~320 kbps - Highest Quality]

Thats the one I always use.
So I tried something today with interesting results.
insteat of letting MM convert the flacs when I burn the cd, I converted them first myself, I then burned the mp3s to cd.
And now my car played all the track without a problem.
So something must go wrong with the combination converting/burning.
