No iTunes should convert it to a WAV file format which is what CD audio players use to play music files. Most CD players can not play mp3 file disk's.
The error was most likely do to the length of the audio file that is why they burned it as a MP3 file as MP3 files are smaller in size example a mp3 folder of a music album may be 120 meg. and wav folder would be 1 gig. The error was saying that it could not fit the mp3's encoded to WAV files onto a CD. What my church does with their sermons is allow you to subscribe to a podcast. http://www.southeastchristian.org/sermons/ I listen to them on my iPhone when I miss one.
