2009 SG Harman Kardon MP3 player skipping tracks
I burnt a MP3 CD with 150 songs and the CD/MP3 player on my 2009 SG plays some tracks but will skip over others. I have no problems playing all the tracks on my computer. Did anyone here experience the same problem? Thanks in advance for any input.
(I did a search but didn't find any conclusive answer).

Yes they're all MP3's, the display goes on the track, I can see the name of the song on the screen, then it just skips to the next one instead of playing it. I'll double check if I have the latest version tonight. Thanks for the reply.

Make sure you remove any cover art that may be associated with the songs or they won't play either. I use media monkey to prepair all my songs, then burn them with Windows media player at a slow speed.

I think you nailed my problem, thanks a lot!!! I removed all the cover art and lyrics from the songs and burned at 2x speed and they all seem to work now. Thanks to everyone for the help.

AND..........what if,
Your CD player just SKIPs period, and or deactivates CD function.?
I'm on an 08' SG and love it, but the head unit seems to struggle with CD's. I've only had it two weeks, and have tried playing both burned music CD's (NOT store-bought) and I did make one MP3 CD but am pretty sure i burned it at highest speed. CD's both mentioned above play o.k. for about 30 mins, then start skipping (like an old record player on a single track).
Anyhow, i can do some testing based on the great advice here, but does anyone else have this problem? Radio and plugging in an MP3 player in AUX jack both work just fine.
Thanks for any time you can save me guys........just the more i get to ride, you know how it is!

MP3 Fix
All,
I recently bought a 2010 FLHTCU and had the same problem. Your responses got me interested so I did some personal research. Here is the solution, unfortunately don't ask Harley or Harman because they just point fingers at each other.
The problem is your ID3 Tag. If you are using iTunes right click on any song and select "Convert ID3 Tag". On the top box select "None" and click OK. This will convert your tag from v2.2 - v2.4, to v1.1. It will not mess up your songs, but you will be able to play them on your ride.
Safe Riding,
Mike
