OK Folks

Please be gentle as this is my first post in here....

Anyway, decided to start to mess around with mp3 and stuff so hear it is....

I used musicmatch software to copy my CD's onto my computer as mp3, then I made my own playlist, then again using musicmatch I burned a cd as an audio cd.

Tried it on the Awia in the front room and it was fine, went out to the scoob and it dain't like it at all, although it will play copies I have done using Nero.

Oh yeah it's the std phillips in a MY99 head unit with the 6 disc multichanger......

HELP........

It is not exactly clear whether you have made an audio CD of MP3 files or converted them to WAV files which you would need to do for an older CD player to read? Probably you should have used CD-R not CD-RW discs also?

Sorry boost....

MP3 files burnt onto a cdr as audio

(Just trying it in nero aswell)

Try burning at slower speed

i used to burn mine at 40x and it never worked, if i burn them at 8x they work perfectly.

make sure you close the CD cos older CD players cant read the CD if it isnt closed, also use CD-R, older systems cant read CD-RWs. When i used to burn mp3s onto CDs i used to convert them using winamp and then create the audio CD in nero, but i've bought an MP3 player for my car a year ago and dont need to bother with all this conversion cr@p, can fit around 130ish mp3s on a single CD, and you can leave the sessions open on it so dont end up wasting CDs, beats a 6 disc changer anyday. much less hassle in my opinion

Slower speed on CD-Rs should work as said above.

Yep, make sure you have finalised the session :)

Cheers Folks,

In the end Nero at a Slow speed.... YIPEEEEE :D :D :D

Paranoid sound great!

Get yourself a better head unit :)

Or even an mp3 player, 10 albums on 1 cd :D

Interesting stuff as my stereo has problems playing MP3... Tends to skip a lot and can tell the difference between a real cd and the burnt one..... serves me right for having an expensive head unit

I think I'll try different blank cd's...

Tis true...burning at slower speeds seems to help from my experience.
