Has anyone burned an MP3 CD?

[JVottero]

Has anyone burned an MP3 CD that actually works in the Radio 10? I can't find any information about what what is really supported. I've tried a number of different burners, just buring straight MP3s at different compression levels but, the radio rejects them all with "CD ERROR".

Is it working for anyone?

are you burning through itunes?

also, you might try some different brands of cds. i've found that some cd readers just don't read some brands of disk as crazy as it sounds.

i've have not tried playing a burned one yet. i'll try to find one and check it.

Took me almost a whole box of matches.

Why do that? MP3 is another step down in quality. If you're going to burn a disc for your car burn a CD in .wav format. It sounds better. My 2 centavos. I'll leave now.

Smart sales literature says the 10 radio cd player is MP3 compatible

With MP3s, I have a 60 CD changer instead of a 6 CD changer.

Nope, just dragging files to the CD-R with Vista.

Make sure the files are MP3 (check the .mp3 extension before burning). iTunes will burn MP3 CD files no matter what the original is encoded. Change under preferences, advanced, burning. Sure WAVs are nice, but ten albums per disk is pretty sweet! I'm using cheap eBay bought disks with no problems.

I've tried several ways. Having folders is very handy for switching around instead of one big folder with lots of songs. Hitting the volume button will allow you to cycle through the folders, push then cycle through the tracks, push and play. You can also shuffle play a folder or the whole disk.

iTunes puts everything without folders, but its fast and converts to mp3 on the fly. Or if everything is mp3 all ready, just drag the folders into the burn folder.

Found the problem. Vista has two ways to burn data CDs, "Live File System" (aka UDF) and "Mastered". Live File System doesn't work, Mastered does.
