Winne,
Unless your car stereo is designed to handle MP3 format [ a form of music compression ] that CD will not play. Try burning a CD in CDA [original CD music] format. See if it will play that CD. Using the CDA format, you will probably only get about 20 songs on a CD. If the CDA disc plays, your stereo simply does not handle the MP3 format. If that CD does not play, the issue may be that the laser in your computer's CD burner has gotten weak. When this happens, often non computer CD players will not be able to read the CD. The only cure is to buy a new CD burner.
FYI, most CD burning software will convert MP3 files to the older, larger CDA format.

Car DVD player has to support MP3 for it to work. Check your model specs. If it does, try a different brand of disc.
