MP3 music files have revolutionised the way we listen to music with many music fans downloading lots of music in MP3 format, for this reason many car audio manufacturers have made their in car CD players compatible with MP3 songs. In car CD players are also very popular so it makes sense that they would start to support MP3's, most car audio manufacturers have in car CD players that support MP3 technology including Sony, Pioneer, Kenwood, Panasonic, JVC and many others.

Most in car CD players that support MP3 songs require you to copy the MP3's onto a blank CD, this is not hard and most modern computers can do this easily as most of them come a CD or DVD writer these days. The good thing is that MP3 songs are small so you can fit hundreds of MP3 tracks onto a CD, when you compare this to the average 15 tracks on a normal CD you can quickly see the advantage of this. There are also in car CD players that allow you to attach an MP3 player such as an Ipod and play the MP3's straight from the MP3 player, these are usually quite expensive but very convenient if you have an Ipod or other MP3 player as you will not have to use CD's and you can play the music in exactly the same way as you use your Ipod or other MP3 player.

MP3's are basically music files that are compressed, they use a special computer compression that allows the size of the music track to be significantly reduced while maintaining the high quality of the music. This is why MP3's are so popular on the Internet as they are small enough to be easily transferred between people, there are many services where you can legally download MP3's such as Apple iTunes and Napster.

If you are looking to buy an in car CD player with MP3 support then we have listed some below with the cheapest first so finding a cheap in car CD player which plays MP3's is easy here:
