Hi guys,

I made an MP3 CD divided into 3 folders.. Most of them will play in my car but there are still 20 or so songs that isn't even seen by my IS350's CD player. However, when I look at the contents of the CD on my PC, all the mp3s are there and they all work on my PC.

Has this happened to any of you? I don't get how some songs don't even show up on my Lexus (i.e. if there were 30 songs in each folder, each folder has about 3-10 songs missing).

Also, the CD is only 3/4 full.

Thanks.

 

Not really sure why it won't recognize it, but I have an MP3 CD in my car with over 100 songs on it and it seems to be able to read all of them. None of mine however are in folders. Maybe it's the way the folders were set up that the system doesn't recognize???

 

make sure the files have the proper extension (.mp3)

 

i'm having these issues as well.

most of the time the dics reads "check", sometimes it takes forever to finally read a song, and if you move forwarda track, it dies again and shows "check". However, once it starts playing it works fine as long as you don't touch anything.

Could it be the quality of the CD-R? oh and this is w/ the Nav/ML system.

I think the problem you have is from the Folders, remove it and just put the mp3 files straight in the CD. unless you have the Navi maybe it would work.

 

I set up a couple of cd's with over 100 songs each.

1 cd has 161 songs, 1 cd has 140. Didn't check the others.

1 cd has many folders with each folder named after the artist.
1 cd has no folders.
1 cd has 4 folders.

All the cd's play great.

When pressing the TEXT button on the player console it shows the cd number, folder name, artist, song title and more, in sequential order by pressing the text button.

When I first tried the mp3 function I put all the files on the cd with no folders so I could use the RANDOM feature of the player. I soon found out that by holding the RANDOM button (1) down for a few seconds it would play random songs through out the cd, no matter how many folders I have. Nice.

 

I never have issues because:
- Use good brand CD-R's (not CD-RW)
- Burn at slow speeds 8x-16x. Do not burn at 48x.
- Always Finalize the disc
- Use NERO Burning ROM

 

quick question, is there a way to make the name of the song scroll ?

non ML, non nav

 

no there isn't

 

are you sure you're scrolling down by the arrows on the left side of the nav screen to view the other songs?

 

This aggriavtes the hell out of me. It even has a little arrow to indicate there is more text. I cant believe the text does not scroll.....

 

they probably are .wma format instead of mp3 format.. Even though it has a .mp3 extension.. try renaming it as ____.wma and then use a convertor to convert it into .mp3 and try burning it again.

 

I have my changer filled with mp3 cds. None of them have folders, and everything is seamless.

I dont see the point of adding folders to your discs. Just edit the file format so that the songs are in the numerical order that you want and then burn them.

I.E.

0001 - song name1.mp3
0002 - song name2.mp3

Thats how I do it, and all of my albums are in order, and everything reads without a hitch.

 

I'm using crappy Office Depot brand CD-RWs that I bought on sale. I burn at 24x, which is the fastest my Plextor writer will burn CD-RWs. I do finalize the disk and use Nero.

Maybe I'm just lucky, but I've had absolutely no problem playing these disks.

 

check the bitrate (sampling rate). In the manual it specified that the headunit will only support a range of sampling rate on the mp3/wma format.
