Will the HK CD drive play CD's with songs in th MP3 format?
I know you can plug a MP3 player in but am curious about the CD option.
I read that you can get 10 hrs of music on a CD in MP3 format.
That would be a great alternative to the external player.
thanks

 

Yes I believe you can. I have just never been able to find good software to make such a disk.

 

It plays MP3s fine i use itunes to make the cds

 

Since Buckeye got his answer I hope he wont mind if I hyjack this thread. Everytime I use Itunes to make a CD I might have 100 songs to burn and about 14 of them will actually play. It says that the rest are protected. How do I get around this.

 

I have had good luck in burning with Windows Media Player ver 10... I won't touch the iTunes.
There have been alot of post on this subject and thoughts on the software etc... I have heard people say to delete the album art file associated with each Mp3 and burning at a slower speed... You will find many opinions on this subject.

 

I burned an MP3 CD using Roxio which seemed to work well. I find that it takes a little longer than I would like when manually advancing to the next track - but other than that its a great way to take some essential music with you - without the hassle of the MP3 player (where to mount) and the Aux cable.

 

I use Windows Media Player to rip CDs to MP3 format. Not exactly state of the art ripping software but it works just fine. Once the music is ripped you make up your CD by copying all of the music folders to your new CD as data files and not music files. Keep them in their respective folders and the rest the HK radio will take care of.

 

Same here.

 

I have used Limewire in the past to download music and roxio as the program to burn the cd's. Burn it as a mp3 cd and it plays great. Shows the name of the song on the display too.

 

Haven't tried it that way HogAir. But I will. Thanks
