Want to convert MP3 files to DVD Audio Tracks

I have thousands of MP3s I've been ripping with EAC and Lame.  My new car supports DVD audio.  What's the best way to burn lots and lots of my MP3s to DVD audio tracks?

Thanks,
CxP

does it only support DVD-V audio or does it support mp3 on dvd?  Maybe you could link to the offending unit.

I assume if you car can support DVD Audio, it can support MP3. It would be better to leave them as MP3 and burn them to DVD

If it supports MP3 natively, then that's definitely the way to go.

If it supports DVD-V audio (regular DVDs, but with no video), then you have to decompress the MP3s as PCM, or transcode the MP3s as AC-3. This is not nice, because of the large size of PCM and the potential loss from transcoding.

If it supports DVD-A audio, then it's similar, but you can use DVD-Audio Tools for the job.

I believe the stereo will play MP3s but only from CD.    Maybe since I'm starting with MP3s anyway, I'd be better off just doing that as I can probably get more MP3s on a CDR than audio tracks on an Audio DVD.

Stereo is in a 2006 Cadillac STS.

If the player reads a dvd r I would at least try one test of a standard dvd data disc. Nero burns these nicely but I am sure there are other progs.

The problem with 4464 megs of mp3's is you really benefit from some rudimentary catalogue system which most cd based players don't have, although you can compensate a bit by burning multiple directories to the disc.

It amounts to around 850 songs with -preset standard files and classic rock music.
