I would have thought normal audio CD like will play at home on basic CD player ;D

No mp3's or owt like that.

I use iTunes to make audio CD's

Ok, thanks guys, i will try wav and wmv, cos i tried MP3 and they dont play (i suppose because mp3 is a newer format then our dear ol Scorpio players eh!

They had stopped making the Scorpio a few years before MP3 came out :)

I'm still playing cassette tapes in my Sierra :)

cassette tapes were/are not as good as the old 8 track, wish I'd still got my old unit that I had.

Not sure the .wav etc. will be compatible either TBH, if CD player is 1998 at the latest, think it has to be kosher basic original audio CD format (?)

Hi Mike

this one i can help you with

download this program ... its free and its great ... i been using it for burning cd`s , dvd`, data files , pictures , mp3 music for 5 years or more
http://download.cnet.com/CDBurnerXP/3000-2646_4-10409086.html
install it , start it , choose audio disc , insert cd disc (not dvd) , drag down mp3 files you want , you will see bar at bottom for free cd space , then burn it , program converts mp3 files to audio file playable on any cd player ... well it is in my case

hope it helps

cheers

Thanks, iTunes can do that! ;D

I may have misunderstood, I thought the question was, will mp3, wav etc. file formats on the CD play in the CD player. Modern players and 'puters will.

my solution to mp3 in my scorpio

didnt have to buy this but i did (figured that when i received the package) ... if you have modern mobile phone with some music and a player on mobile phone you can plug it in that cassette plug

No worries ~ yes I'm pretty sure the answer is, has to be original Philips/Sony spec audio tracks to play on the Scorp.

Ta for the links tho. ;D
