I am having trouble burning a cd.  I use to convert a MP3 to a wave and burn a cd to play in the car and it worked.  Now After reinstalling the software I burn a cd and it shows as an error in the car cd. what could be going on.

What format do I wan to use when I want to play a music cd in the car?

Unless your car audio plays MP3s, you need to make a standard audio CD.

First simple method:
-go on the Home application main menu to Music/Audio > Burn Audio CDs
-drag your source music files onto the window that says "Drag Music Here" [note, you can use any of the filetypes mentioned without having to convert them]
-drag your music tracks into the order you want them on the CD
-click the Green arrow, insert a blank CD, and click on OK.

Second simple method:
-go on the Home application main menu to Music/Audio > Create Music Disc Projects
-select Project Type > Audio CD
-drag your music files into the right-hand part of the window
-drag the tracks into the desired order and set any 'transitions' you want
-insert a blank CD and click the Burn button on the left side of the project box under the 'Export' heading
-change any options you want in the Burn Setup box which appears, and then click OK to start the burn.

There is no "format" to set when using either of these two methods. It's automatic for audio discs.
