Standard CD players in cars will not play MP3s but all car makers
offer an optional MP3 player, typically with a 4 or 6 disc
changer. Both my 2006 Dodge Charger and 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser
each have a 6-disc in-dash MP3 player/changer, works just fine.
Ostensibly, these players will not read UDF, only Joliet, so that
is how I burn mine although I have tested UDF and it appears to
work OK. Also, my owner's manuals say that the max titles/disc
recognized is 256, but I have exceeded that as well.

Also, my newer DVR VHS/DVD player/DVD burners for my TVs support
JPEG CDs and music CDs/DVDs of any valid type, including MP3.

None of this solves the OP's problem, of course, I just commented
that the technology one can buy for the home or their car has
changed dramatically in the last couple of years and likely MP3-
compatible players are there on the order blank for your next
car. I don't know, but I suppose one could buy an after-market
add-on below-the-dash disc changer with the electronics to play
MP3 CDs in a car, with correct wiring harnesses to plug into the
existing radio.

Now, as to DVDs with music on them, WAV or MP3, neither of my
cars will play those, but I am told that 2008 cars from most
manufacturers will offer that as part of upgrades to support DVD
video for the 2nd and 3rd row seats.
