Playing mp3's in autochanger

[ay_jay]

As title, does anyone know if the cd autochanger in my 2000 s type will play mp3's burned to a disk please ?

Hi Tony,

yes, should do, I have a compilation cd's burned by myself in my 2005 X type 6 stacker without issues.

Cheers

Thanks for the reply Andrew. I must have done something wrong as the disk I burned won't work. I get "check disk" message.

[Tigger]

Yeah, sounds about right, not sure what media you are using, mine are Sony -R and don't thro an error message.

Cheers

I don't think the CD player in the S-Type is capable of playing MP3 files.

Same CDC chassis in both X and S as far as I'm aware so if it can play MP3 what a bonus 

[ay_jay]

Mine are Philips CD -R. Not sure what else I can try? Copying from windows laptop. Be good if I could do it. Would keep the wife happy. 

[Tigger]

Mine are recorded from a Mac, not sure if that makes a difference.

Think I will give up then. Don't like her music anyhow  thanks guys.

Hahaha, my wife is not keen on my choice either.....  just checked my system to see what it does, from what I can see, it is burning an audio cd for playing in standard type CD players, it seems to be converting the files to suite this format (what ever that is)

i just put in what I want to do with the CD and the software does the rest, the upshot is I can only get approx 8-10 tracks per CD so guessing it's as per a bought cd.

cheers

It decode MP3 files.  You have to burn the files as audio tracks to the CD so that it looks like a regular CD.  My 2006 won't read CD-RW disks.

Thanks guys. Working now. Much appreciated

Nice one, Tony,

glad you got it sorted

Forget mp3s in a jaguar. 

 

They were behind the times when it came to incar technology. 

They had an option of a cassette player in 2003!!!

OK with the Audio Connectivity Module Andy. Not what you'd call a cheap modification though. Having said that, I've seen them going for less than £150 on a couple of occasions recently.
