2 issues here :
1- Yes, all above are right about finalizing CD, some programs call it "end CD Session" meaning you cannot record anymore on it.

2- 2nd issue, equally important, some software record the mp3 CD as PC data format (NTFS, FAT32...ect) which may not be recognizable by MP3 players. I'm no computer wiz expert, but I ran through similar problems in the past. anyways, I used a software called RECORD NOW from VERITAS, it came free with my DVD Writer and in it there's a utility while recording MP3 CDs that says "optimize for MP3 players" and somehow it records the CD with recognizable format for all MP3 players including car MP3 players.

I tried it on my H3 player just yesterday (I too have the basic sigle CD player) and it works just fine using RECORD NOW from VERITAS.

Search for this software on the net, should be available for free on the net. I also have the same software on my IBM laptop, so I guess this software is compatible with most CD writers. And very easy to use.

Hope this helps

[b] When a Cd is burned it is not burned in FAT32 (File Allocation Table) or NTFS (New Technology file system). CDI format or MP3, wave ect.. are the file types. You can not format a CD at FAT32 or NTFS. You have 2 diffrent options for the CD's File System which is ISO9660 or UDF (Universal Disk Format). Sorry, I just noticed this and wanted to help you out.

Thanks alot,
