i would like to understand this also. i use the iTunes software and i followed the instructions but it wont allow me to burn them as MP3 format? i was just recently told that the songs on that are locked so you dont share them? i have an Ipod but find its a pain to use when driving and would rather have a few MP3 cds that i can use on the head unit. has anyone done this??? please let me know if you have any ideas on how to make this work!
thank you![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

Correct. In order to burn MP3's to a DVD, you will need a program (like music disc creator from roxio) which will automatically convert your mp3 files to ac3 format. This is all transparent to the user though. You just drag and drop your mp3 files into the "burn DVD" window and it plays flawlessly on the ML+NAV stereo in our cars.

isnt it right you will lose sound quality when you convert from mp3 to ac3 then back to mp3 format(s) ??

Honestly, as far as "lose sound quality" I don't know... I didn't notice any difference, but I think that anytime you convert anything you lose "slight" sound quality... Right? But maybe not enough for the human ear to detect...
I didn't start with 384kbps flawless mp3 files though... I just download mp3 files from the internet and stuff...
Anyway, I'm sure this whole quality thing has been endlessly debated on audiophile forums... So maybe go check there for a complex answer

But personally, I didn't notice the ac3 files sounding any different from the original mp3s...

Well, you are just converting once, from mp3 to ac3... The burned dvd will play the ac3 files...
