Why can't my car stereo play certain songs from a burned disc?

Hi, I burned a jukebox cd using Nero to play in my car and most tracks work fine (90%) but some songs don't play. The car stereo tries to read the problem tracks and I can hear it trying to read the problem songs but it just can't play them. I used a CD-R to record the mp3's. I don't understand why my car stereo won't play some songs while most other tracks on the cd work fine. If it helps, I'm using the stock stereo from my 2006 Hyundai Sonata.

My songs are in mp3 format and work just fine when I burn them in a regular audio cd. But that only holds around 18 songs which is way too less for me. I thought it might be the bitrate but songs with different bitrates can be played.

PS: Someone said that the unplayable tracks might be encoded using mp3 pro format and not the usual mp3 format. If so, how can I find out the encoding format of my tracks?
 
Are some of the mp3s with higher bitrate, maybe its the bitrate. I dont know what max is for cdplayers.
I have all my mp3s at 320k
Also check if they are higher than 16bits
Maybe check if they are more than 44000 or 48000hz, maybe they are 96000hz and maybe your player only took 48000hz.
Hope it helps.

To find out all this info i think you could use a little free software called MediaInfo.
