oh, I was wondering, does anyone here have problems playing burned (from mp3's) cd's in their changer? I tried playing just one cd, and it didnt play well at all.

thanks.

Hey jigga78, big congratulations on your purchase! I am sure that you will love the LS430.

As for the MP3/CD situation, when you burned your CD, did you check to convert your .MP3's to .WAV format?

Congrats man. On that pic it looks like there is smoke coming out from under the rear tires. Break it in first then do burnouts

J/k

The MP3 thing is all about what CD's you use. The recording speed might affect it also. Just record at slower speeds on good blanks.

thanks everyone.

LS400: my program converts my mp3's automatically, i think.

Retrodrive: yeah, it was an old, crappy cd i used that was just lying around. im gonna try it out one of my better, newer cd's.

Congrats. you will be happy with it. I have 2002 LS430 with custom package.

Be careful when you play CR-R/CR-RW of burned MP3s. Some disc are too thick for the cd slot. It happenned to me several times when the CR-R disc the I played won't come out. You see, when you insert it, you slightly push it and forces it to slide in, but when the disk needs to come out, the built in cd puller is not enough to spit out thick CDRs.

I burn CDs all the time for my LS. Never a problem, even plays the ones I burn at 40X, which my home system won't play.

I bet the disks are too thick because of the labels that get stuck on them. I use a permanent felt tip marker pen. (Sharpy)
