Average CD, 650Mb. So it depends how big your MP3 files are. Assume 3Mb each, and that's 225 (around 20 average albums) on a CD. They will be displayed "as is" from the CD... e.g., put them in folders and name them however you like, and that's how they will appear on the screen.

It should also be noted that if you have Nav and aren't using it, you can put a DVD (4.7Gb) of MP3's in the nav dvd slot, which means around 1250 songs. Numbers are approximate as it really depends on file size, but will give you an idea.

No idea why the CD Changer doesn't play MP3s, but that's how it is!
Thanks.

It is my understanding that the above comments do not apply to the US LCI with the iPod Option, like I have. The display and menus for the iPod option use an an Aux menu that is full featured.

This thread is about NOT having the factory fit option, or fitting the version which plugs in to the CD Changer interface. It is exactly also about NOT having the option you have got ... hence why the comments to do not apply!

Cool I've gotta go burn an MP3 DVD and try this out. Now if only somebody would figure out how to get DVD video on the LCD display!!!
