I have just bought a motorcycle with a CD player that will play MP3's. I want to burn songs in my itunes library to several disk to play on the bike.

The iTunes software tells me that the selected songs are not in an MP3 format, therefore it will not burn the disk.

I have tried to put the iPod on the motorcycles, but there is lots of vibration and it seems to lock up frequently.....

Is there a work around for this so i can burn MP3 CD's?

Thanks.....

burn them as an audio cd, put the audio cd in your Mac, then use iTunes to rip them as MP3.

Yup, by default it imports using ACC format.

Change the import settings to mp3, and either re-import your entire library (for maximum quality) OR select your entire library and go to "Advanced" --> "Convert selection to mp3". This will transcode whatever songs you've highlighted to mp3 - but this will result in audible quality reduction (not enough to matter *at all* on the motorcycle, but still).
