Ok, after almost 2 years of ownership, I found out that my LS460 (with NAV but not ML) will play home burned CD-Rs with MP3 files. That's the good news. The bad news is that while the screen indicates the ability to recognize multiple folders, mine only seems to recognize 1 folder even if more than 1 are on a disc. And even if I put more than 20 songs in 1 folder, it only reads the 20 songs.

Any operational "how to do this" info would be appreciate.

ummm that's odd, i burn cds with 10-20 folders and the system is able to read through all of them. so no matter what you do it doesn't see more than 20 songs? what if you try to burn songs to the disc without any folder?

I found the problem. I was burning MPEG4 files. Once I limited it to MP3 it works as I expected. Now to figure out how to convert from MPEG4 to MP3

Make an audio CD out of your MP4's then import the CD back into your computer to convert to MP3. There is also some software out there that will do it but I find this to be easy enough.

download.com should have some converters. The free Audacity Beta program probably can help.

Thanks. I did the upload then back download from the audio CD and now it works great. Of course I found out that the same Nanny State gremlins that lock out the NAV also lock out the ability to scroll through FOLDERS of music while in motion.

Ok, this is news to me. I have a non-ML audio. I've inserted a burned cd with mp3 files but the system says that its a non-audio cd.

really? i didn't know you need ML in order to play the mp3 cd

daryll40

You don't need ML to play MP3s. Mine is non-ML. TCLK must be doing something wrong. It will NOT play MP3s burned to a DVD...only to a CD. But it works.

It depends in how it's burned; should be finalized in 1 session; and no more than ~30 folders.

Hello.

How does non ML stereo sound?
Is there a big difference between ML and regular stereo ?

it is pretty big difference. the ML system on the ls460 is their reference system, so it's easily another step about other mark levinson system found on other lexus. the reference system on my ls460l was easily the best oem system i have ever experienced

I agree with rominl 100%. I had a BMW 750 with the Logic 7 sound and thought it couldn't be beat until I got my LS.
