Is there a list of those .mp3 compressions that are compatible with various versions of players? What is the most commonly playable .mp3 format? My relatively old (2 year) CD .mp3 player will only play a few of the currently available .mp3 files.

The 'standard' MP3 is 44.1 ksps, 128 Kbps, CBR. Commensurate sample rates (22.05, 11.025) are quite likely to be handled well in various players. Incommensurate rates (48, 24) and VBR are less likely. Bit rates in excess of 128 and below 32 can also be problematic, but that's seldom a factor if sample rate is commensurate with 44.1.
