Try copying them to CD-R. -- Steve Hayes http://www.khanya.org.za/stevesig.htm http://khanya.wordpress.com The problem was that I was burning them as a data project. When I did it as an audio CD, they started playing. Which probably means the cd-player in your car is not MP3 capable. JT -- No, as it plays CD-RW with 165 mp3s on it. So you have a CD-RW with 165 mp3s, and the car player plays that - but two CD-RWs with 28 mp3s on, and it does play the first one, but that's all. So it's clear that the car player _can_ (a) read CD-RWs [so it's not a laser colour/power problem] (b) read and play mp3s. Two thoughts: 1. Is the "structure" of the 28-mp3 discs different to that of the 165-mp3 one - does the 165- have them all in the root folder, say, but the 28- have them in sub-folders (all but one track)? Some players don't like complex structures. 1a. Or, you may have changed a mode in the player: with (just audio CDs) in my car player (??koda Octavia), I've done something that affects how the back button works (always goes to the beginning of the CD now, which is irritating!), and I can't figure out how to get it back (to either just rewind a bit, or at least just restart the current track). 2. Have you "closed" the "data project" on the 28-? That might affect how the car player sees them (might only see the first one if you haven't [I'd be surprised it even sees that]). What about file system? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compac..._Digital_Audio The audio CD would likely be "Red Book" or "CDDA". I don't think that's a file system in the conventional I'm surprised at you Paul! He's said he's using mp3s, so it's in practice a data CD, not CDDA. (IIRR they're mostly "Joliet" or "ISO".) mount sense. There's got to be some reason that they call the copying of a CD "ripping". Yes, a (red book) audio CD is a very simple structure, having very little in the way of directories and so on: very close to just a linear string. (Yes I know all CDs are that, but they're more so, as it were.) [] "conceived as an evolution of the gramophone record, and did not consider the audio tracks as data files to be identified and indexed. The audio CD format does not include the disc name or track names, so a supplemental database is needed to supply this information" Though it does have a low bit rate parallel data stream, which nevertheless had just about enough capacity for such information - but was hardly ever used for such, or in fact for anything, with the exception of Karaoke discs. [] This Hollywood title (from the delete bin), uses an overlay of two file systems. And the read error is probably a quaint way of preventing copying (it rips just fine). Yes, I've got one that shot itself in the foot like that: at the time I got it (someone bought me it; British Light Classics, I think it was), my default way of playing an audio CD was to stick it into the PC. That wouldn't play there, though, so I had no _option_ but to rip it, in order to hear it at all! (On the insert, it _didn't_ have the "CD digital audio" symbol, though I expect it _would_ have played on a "real" CD player.)

[Actually, I _do_ have a valve [US: toob] wireless set or two somewhere, though I haven't turned them on for years, possibly decades. And the valves don't, on the whole, fail.] -- J. P. Gilliver.

Eventually I will upgrade my 11 year old radio. :-) Andy It must have been new old stock 11 years ago. USB ports on radios have been standard a long time. My wife's 2008 Lincoln has a USB port that will take a 16g drive I think. I know it has an 8g in it that isn't full. (thousands of songs). 20 years ago I was running a small desk top PC in my car for MP3s. (Socket 7 machines running DOS are perfect). |
