Default newbie mp3 download/SD question

I'm a total newcomer to music downloading. I've figured out how to download and burn CD's that the RS4 will play - but now I'm stuck.

I'm trying to load music into formats I can use in the car. I can burn my own CD's into mp3's that play in the car. I can also load those same CD's onto an SD disc, and that works too.

I can download music from Yahoo, and load it into my Sansa. I can burn those songs onto CD's and those work in the car as well.

But when I try to load the Yahoo downloads onto an SD disc, the car refuses to recognize the files.

Anybody know what I need to do to sort this out?

Thanks.

Default Re:"it is, but it still doesn't work" - still using the problem format, it is?

if you make an audio cd from them you can create 'proper' mp3 files from it.

Default they may be copy-protected mp4 or aac files.

i've noticed the same problem with some things i've purchased from itunes. make sure the files are in .MP3 format.
