If you are playing thru an mp3 player, files can be either mp3 or wma. It doesn't matter since all the stereo is doing is putting out the sound, not reading the data. On cd's, if you burn them, the files must ALL be in mp3 format othwise they won't play. As for the amount of time you get out of a cd, that varies. I use 700mb cd's and can get almost 200 songs depending on the song length. Obviously the larger the size of the cd, the more songs you can get.
As for your sound problem, I am not sure about it. I use a Sony Walkman 4gb mp3 player and with the sound turned all the way up on my layer, it doesn't need turned up a whole lot on the bike unless we are cruising on the highway or in traffic. One thing that you could try is a radio converter. It plugs into your player and then uses a radio frequency to play your music thru. I use one in my car since it doesn't have an aux port to plug a cord into. The radio thing use lower radio stations (ie 88.1, 88.3, 88.5, and 88.7) to play your music thru.
I hope this helps.

RE: MP3 Player
If you are using your computer to burn songs from a cd to the cd, you first have to tell Windows media player to rip music in a mp3 format under tools options. If you have them in a library on your computer already they will not be in the correct format. Windows Media player defaults ripping music as .wma files. Which will work but they are bigger in size than mp3's. Also when you make the cd, tell it at the begining that you are making a "data" CD that way it will go by the size of the file and not the length of the song. The radio reads the file by the extention just like your computer. I have put as many as 400 songs on one cd only to find out the the player in my 07 Street Glide will only go up to 255 so i have four or five cd's with 255 songs. It's awesome!

RE: MP3 Player
Thanks amigo. I am a little slow on this stuff!
OK. I did rip songs to my computer from my older CD's and then sent them to my MP3 player. I didn't go to tools and check the format. Is there a way to convert the format or do I have to rip the music again? If I rip it in MP3 format I can just burn a CD using the MP# format? I never knew that. Guess I'll try to look into it the next couple of days.

RE: MP3 Player
I don't know what model you have but I use and only know about the C200. Mine has a equalizer uder settings. I get best results from it being in the normal position. Also, mine has a volume option under settings, set it to high. I am not sure what the problem is but like I said, mine doubles the volume using MP3.
