I just bought an audio book on iTunes, and I'd like to listen to it in my car. I created a playlist that contained the audio book, and burned an audio CD. When I put the CD in my car, it just ejects the CD.
When I explore the CD, I see that there is a .cda file present on the disk. Is this the correct format?
What can I do to get the book to play in my car's CD player?

You may be unable to burn Audio Books to a CD due to DRM encrypted purchases.

Do other burned CDs work in your car? Some older stereos tend to reject CD-Rs or CD-RWs. Additionally, check out The Red Book Audio CD standards. If your CD breaks any of the five specifications listed there, it may not play in your typical CD player.

Mine won't play a CD-R and manual specifically mentions this will not work. – Dave M – 2010-03-10T18:38:51.083
How do I know if it's DRM encrypted or not? Nothing is mentioned of it on the iTunes store where I bought it, but it does say that the file is protected if I try to convert it to AAC. I thought iTunes wasn't doing that anymore.
This doesn't do me any good if I can't play it in a CD player. – Mike Pateras – 2010-03-10T19:08:00.717
If it's "protected" then you probably can't convert it. I don't know if they let you burn them to CD's anymore either. I get all my music DRM free. – Josh K – 2010-03-10T19:14:14.043
