Default Can't make audio CD containing MP3s

I'm trying to do something that's supposed to be fairly simple but it's not
working. Can anyone suggest what I'm doing wrong?

I am trying to make a CD containing MP3s that will play in my car CD player
and the CD player in my home stereo.

The MP3s live on my hard drive and play fine in iTunes. My media is a CD-RW
from Staples. I've tried burning the CD using the Windows Media Player
(Version 11) and all seemed to go well during the burning except that the
resulting CD will play on my computer but not in my home or car stereos.

I had the same result when I burned the CD via Express Burn: no errors
during the burning but the disk wouldn't play in the home or car stereos.

Both the car and home stereos are fairly old; the car stereo is the original
Honda player in my 2001 Accord. The home stereo is somewhat older.

I thought perhaps the CD-RW I was using was defective in some way, even
though it is brand new so I tried burning the disk again with Express Burn
using another new CD-RW but the new CD-RW had the same problem. I also tried
making the CD-RW with Windows Media Player on the newer CD-RW but got "no
disc" from my Sony home stereo CD player when I tried to play it.

I'm not a computer newbie by a long shot, although I've never had much to do
with burning music CDs and have never tried to make an audio CD containing
MP3s before. I'm guessing that I'm making some kind of fundamental
conceptual mistake....

Anyway, can someone confirm that Windows Media Player 11 and Express Burn
are appropriate programs to use to make an audio CD consisting of MP3s that
will play in an older car stereo? If they are, then perhaps you can help me
figure out what mistake I am making....
