What's the best way to do this?
Just drag a bunch of mp3's to your cd burner. You might want to organize the mp3s into different folders, like put each album (or playlist, etc) in a separate folder and name the folder after the album. Your car stereo should be able to skip from folder to folder, like how you can skip from disk to disk in a multi-disk player.
Oh, and you might want to number your tracks so they play in the correct order (if you care about that). Like prepend '01' onto the first track's file name, '02' onto the second, etc. for each album.
This is all assuming that the car stereo doesn't read the mp3 tags. Also, you might want to check the manual to see if it can handle file names longer than 8 characters.
I had an mp3 cd player in my Focus, so I have lots of discs where I did stuff like this. I bought it back in '01 or so, so perhaps the technology (reading the mp3 tags, file length issues, etc.) has improved since then.
I can save it to a different sort of file - do you recommend tif?

Yes. Take your original source file (before you did anything to it), change the DPI as you did earlier, but then immediately save it as a TIF file.
These are files that other folks have emailed to you? I suspect that they sent them at screen resolution which is 72dpi and will look like hell no matter what you do to print them. If so you need to get them to send you new copies at the highest resolution they have.
I have nothing to add, sumi, except I feel your pain.
Thanks, everyone.
I figure that many of these photos were probably taken with less than ideal equipment (camera phone) and probably there is not much to be done with them at all.
Sumi as an untalented hack when it comes to graphics, I often find that low resolution images can be used as faded backrounds - deliberately blurred more than they already are , or made transparent faint backgrounds. Alternatively they can be shrunk into tiny images to be mixed into text as replacements for characters. Maybe some of the people who are actually good at graphics have other suggestion, but those are things I have done with low res images, and somehow bluffed people into mistaking the result for the work of someone with graphic talent.
Oh, and I've also alternated between images, checkerboarding them.
Yeah, but I'm not PRINTING them. I have to send them to media services to be printed and their requirement is for High Res pictures.
Ah sorry. Not helpful then.
