How to make an MP3 CD to play on DVD player

I recently got a Pioneer DV-656 DVD player that has mp3 support. I have not been able to burn a cd that will play on it. It usually recognizes that they are mp3 cd's and shows the files on there but when I hit play it says "can't play this format". The manual for the DVD player is not much help and refers me to the software manafacturer. The software manual doesn't help either. It doesn't even cover burning an mp3 cd though it allows me to burn them.

I am using Win98SE, Easy CD Creator 4.05 and burning it as a data cd (not direct CD) using the ISO9660 format. The mp3's are 56kBits, 22,050khz stereo. I've tried different combinations CDROM / CDROM XA, TAO finalized, DAO finalized, and changed other settings under cdlayout properties, but I'm either not getting the right combination or something else is up. A friend brought down an mp3 CDR he burnt on Toast on a Mac and it played fine. I'm getting really preturbed. Before my friend's cdr played the company I bought it from said to return it and they would send another. If it is the DVD player I'll do that, but there must be something else. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Try burning them at 128kbits, 44.1 KHz stereo.

You have to burn the mp3 as audio and not data.

He correctly burning them as data -- that player has a built-in mp3 decoder. But glc's got it -- it may only support certain bit rates. And few if any DVD Players with mp3 playback support variable bitrates.

I'll see what I can do. Easy CD Creator doesn't give me that bitrate as an option to extract as mp3, but I think I can have winamp change wav files to that format and try it. I'll try it and post back, Thanks.

I had to download a ripper / converter (DB PowerAmp Converter) and tried it at that bitrate. It worked. Thanks so much.

I wonder why mine didn't work, I have a Panasonic player and it wouldn't recognise the disc when the files were on the root of the disc, I had to put them into folders.

More testing to be done, I think
