Hmmm. Some car stereos have a line input in the back, in which case you could attach that to a 1/8 in. jack and then plug that into your mp3 player.
Since I'm betting your car stereo doesn't have this feature, another option is to buy an audio adapter such as this one, which takes the headphone output from your mp3 player and broadcasts it onto an unused FM channel for you to tune your radio to.

what sucks about burning a 2 hour Essential Mix as an mp3 is that it's not cued, so you can't skip to that song you really like at 63 minutes.

what's the point of burning the whole essential mix then? for me, if i listen to a live set, i must listen to the whole thing (well, maybe skip that really annoying track i've heard 150 times already).
and yes, the FM transmitter thing works for me - $20 at best buy and off i go. the quality is a bit blah, but whatever.

double sided cd's are in the pipe line so then you can get 160mins of music, unfortunately you've still got to take out the cd and turn it over
just get a cd player in your car that plays cd-r

CD-R? Do you mean MP3? See, you can burn data files up to 700MB...but if you want to play that on a CD player you need to burn it as an audio file...which is where MB doesn't matter but minutes do.
The biggest CDs I've seen are 700MB/80min. Thus the only way to do it with CD is burning data MP3 CDs. You can pick up CD/MP3 players for like $50 now (Rio Volt). Then you just use the cassette adapter for your car.
I've got a portable CD player hooked up in my car right now w/ the cassette adapter and the lighter power adapter. I don't have money for my sound system yet, I'm still working on the performance part.

LoL, whoops sorry. Well, I'd say you're pretty fucked then. Time to dish out $300+ for a nice headunit.
Ummm... I disagree. Did you check out the link that I gave you on page 1? This thing is less than $30, and as far as I can see it will do exactly what you want.

Somebody else said the quality isn't too good. I'm not going to roll unless my music sounds good...can't cruise with shitty sound.

Well once upon a time TDK announced that they were gonna make a 140gb CD-R but then MP3s came out so they decided to go a different route.But here is an alternative to your problem...
