Introduction
With the increasing trend of high quality music systems and they being installed in cars for entertainment, the use of Mp3 car CDs has increased. Mp3 is a patented digital audio encoding format. It is used in the digital audio compression and for the transfer and playback of music on audio players. Mp3 has effectively revolutionized the music industry especially by making the data size so much smaller that it is so much easier to transport as well as transfer. Also, now more songs can be added to a CD, making your Mp3 car CD contain more tracks than it used too.
History
Mp3 car CDs are a good source of entertainment and a pass time as well. You can enjoy music while travelling, during road trips and even enjoy your favorite music for short distances. Such CDs are durable, portable and can hold your entire music collection. A Mp3 car CD can now be produced at home as well. A CD is extremely cheap and offers high storage capacity ranging from 600-800 MB. There are numerous soft wares that allow you to ‘burn’ CDs. You can download your personal favorite tracks and burn them on a CD yourself and be good to go. The benefit of this is that it is cheaper and will save you the trouble of changing CDs repeatedly as you will have your whole collection in one CD.
Features
Mp3 burning soft wares are free and can be downloaded from the internet. They do not consume much time and effort and are helpful. Creating an Mp3 car CD is not very difficult. All you need is a computer, a CD burner and writeable or re-writable CD. Then all you need to do is follow a few simple steps; the first of which is to download software that may help you ‘burn’ your CD. Next you insert a blank writable or rewritable cd into your drive. Then you create a playlist and add your favorite songs to it and finally you burn the CD and that is about it making you ready to go. You take that freshly burnt CD and play it in your car, making it one of your Mp3 car CDs.
Tips and comments
A Mp3 car CD may add to your fun but it’s not all about fun and games. These can prove to be highly dangerous as well. As they are a source of distraction, at times the driver gets so deeply involved in the music that your attention does not stay on the road and thus results in accidents. Attention is divided in changing CDs or tracks which is not very safe especially if you are driving. During a drive, all your senses should be focusing on your journey and the vehicle you drive because if for example you are on a long journey, you may reach speeds that could prove lethal for you in case your attention gets diverted. Accidents are known to be fatal, especially at high speeds so one needs to be extra careful and even more alarmed when someone else is with you as your not only responsible for your own life, but of the other persons too.
