Default how to write an mp3 to cd

i've got a g5 mac running jaguar and although itunes is great i want to be able to put more songs on to cd and heard with mp3 you can have up to 200 songs on 1 disc. question is how do i do it? do i need any more programs or special writers to do it. my car stereo can play mp3 so it would be good to have 1 disc full of loads of songs than have to keep changing the discs in the changer.
many thanks

I use MusicMatch - only coz I paid for it years ago... there are plenty of freeware titles to choose from.

This is a well used free title http://www.cdex.n3.net/

it's no more complicated than write a disc with the Mp3's on it and stick it in your car. The stereo will lay the .MP3's from the disc

thats what i want to do rb5-black but although as soulgirl says itunes are stored as mp3 when it writes to disc it writes it as a normal cd so can only get about 14-20 songs depending on length on to 1 disc. i got about 400 so far stored on the hard drive which in theory could all go on to 2 discs if written as mp3 but i don't know how to do it

Thats the limitation of your software then. I dont really know about macs... can't you just copy and paste the tracks from your PC onto your CD drive like we do on a normal PC?

If not, then download one of those proggies from the list I gave and give that a shot.
